Size Matters

About 6 years ago, I was working in the molecular department at my lab when a coworker and I were talking. He was telling me about wanting a new TV, wanted to get a 50 inch.

I told my coworker, “I wonder how big Bob’s is (male coworker whose real name I withheld)”. So, he yells over to Bob, “Hey Bob, do you have a big one?”

Bob just looked at him like, “Excuse me???”

Then another coworker who was at one of the computers was like, “Hey! Hey! Hey! What the hell did you just ask him??”

My coworker just looked at me and said I don’t think he knows I was talking about a TV.
