Oranges & Apricots
So my boss is in charge of the Bible study for some event he's going to, and he had me make 50 hand-outs to accompany his talk. Pictures of Masaccio's fresco The Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden.
Real uplifting stuff, eh?
So I hit print and hear the printer wind up and print two... but then it stops. Great. Paper jam. I walk over there to find my openly gay co-worker, Sam, already at the printer.
Sam: Is this you, printing out Adam and Eve's Expulsion from Hell?
PW: Expulsion from Eden.
S: Whatever. I thought I was getting a fax, and all of a sudden, there's penises printing out!
PW: Where are they?
S: I think there's a paper jam.
PW: Well, open it up!
S: [pops open the front cover] Wow! Lookit all the apricot dials!
PW: You know how I know you're gay?
S: Because I said apricot?
PW: Totally. A straight guy would've said orange.
S: Apricot isn't gay!
PW: Of course, it is!
S: It's not like I said mauve!
PW: Straight guys only know five colors, and two of them are black. And none of them are APRICOT!
S: I think you're avoiding the real issue.
PW: Which is?
S: Why are you printing off penises?
PW: They're for Boss' bible study.
S: ...

So, do you say "ahpricot" with a short "A" or "aepricot" with a long "A"??
