The Ultimate Excuse!

I had a co worker who was being hounded by a client that would call every 10 minutes through out the day. Getting updated on their loan, set the time for their closing. This co worker would stand by me when the phone would ring just to wait and see if it was for him. When I hung up after one particular call, he asked me if it was for him. I told him no and he explained to me that if one particular client called that he was out of the office.

I asked him how long it would be before he was back in the office. He told me that I was welcome to tell the client that he took a huge stack of magazines into the bathroom and would be a while. He was looking at redecorating his office and would need the extra time to customize the bathroom stall walls with pictures he likes to get an idea of what he would like to have on his wall.

Better yet he said, "You can tell her I came down with the bird flu and will be out for a very long time." I laughed and told him that I would add that by next week we should have his desk moved into the local facilities along with his extension transfer. **FLUSH**
