Bring Me Laughter!

This one comes from the lovely Ian Green. It displays more sweet ignorance than out and out stupidity but I love it. He refers to her/him as a Susan. Personally I think this is slightly unfair (yeah I know this is coming from a man who has a website about the idiocy of an unwitting colleague). To me this is a classic example of how Susan lurks within all of us, ready to pounce at any moment. Over to Ian...

OK here's one. A while back I was buying some tickets to go and see The Play What I Wrote - the theatrical tribute to Morecombe & Wise. Very good actually. Being of a chummy disposition I sent an email around the office along the lines of:

"Does anyone want tickets for The Play What I Wrote? If so let me know."

A reply came back from one Susan:

"Sorry I'm busy that day and won't be able come and see the play what you wrote."

Ah Bless!

What Will They Think of Next?

This contribution comes from Paul in Bradford. His Susan is of the male variety and his story is a good 'un. Paul is a father-to-be. Paul, being a proud father-to-be keeps a picture of his gestating offspring on his mobile phone.

He showed this pic to a colleague. To which he received the priceless reply:

"wow it really is amazing what phones can do these days, isn't it?"

Yep, his Susan thought he had a mobile phone with the ability to carry out ultrasound scans of foetuses. I actually don't think the original Susan would say such a thing. Beautiful.
