Then again, who am I to criticize someone's sense of humor? I tried a little joke today and it went over like a lead balloon.
We were talking about reorganizing the warehouse and I said that my plan called for dividing it into 3 quadrants.
That was the joke. 3 quadrants. Because quadrants by definition means 4? Get it?
Maybe I should have said 3 halves. Probably.
No one laughed. It's not like they kind of groaned because they thought it was a weak joke; there was no sign anyone even knew humor was being attempted.
