When it is a colleagues birthday and you ask said colleague how old they are... DO NOT reply with "Oh Wow!" as if they could have added 10 years and you still would have been surprised

His follow up of 'Have you met Jesus?' confirmed the initial exclamation.

Excuse me, that's MY line.




"No, really how old?" Is another good one.

I made the mistake of "Was it a big one?" when a larger (and louder) than life lady was talking about her birthday bbq.

The lady in question was 36.

Was this colleague a lady?

I hate being asked questions about how old people look. I am utter crap at guessing ages. I just go 20 years younger and make a joke out of it. Get's me out a tight spot every time.
