You wankers

(Scene: Sydney office. ZH, PM and EH are discussing a certain client’s penchant for speaking in management-consultant techno-babble.)
ZH: We just want to make sure they’re speaking plain English. I mean, we don’t want to be drowning in wank.
Silence around the table for a beat.
ZH: Oh my God, that is totally gross!
EH: Yeah, but it would be a killer band name: Drowning in Wank!

Before One Can Say "I Do"
AK to MW, SJJ, CM: So, I went to get my blood drawn at this sketchy place for my wedding license and when the nurse called my name to give me the results, she screams, "CONGRATULATIONS." I mean, I don't get why she said that.
MW, SJJ and CM just stare at AK in silence.

How come everything today has involved things either coming in or going out of my ass?
Scene: A follow-up training session on negotiation skills, the main topic of conversation is avoiding the word “but” (instead of saying things like, “I agree we need to change the budget, but...” we should say “I agree we need to change the budget; how can we find a good solution?”). The team has been brainstorming ways to keep the “but” out of conversation. ZH leads the charge.
BW, to facilitator: I think you’ve done a great job of lighting the torch of inspiration here, and I also think ZH has agreed to carry the “but flame” forward.
ZH: Hey, that’s sexual harassment!
(Room laughs)
Facilitator: Wait, what’s sexual about that?
(Room laughs harder)
