Mounting Room


My friend told me, "The previous agency I worked for had a big room reserved for mounting the artwork on boards.

One Saturday afternoon, someone came back to the office and walked into this room. He saw an account manager doing it with the receptionist on this large table in the room. After that, everyone wondered if it was the spray mount that made the table sticky.

Anyway, this guy was questioned by management as a witness to the event.

"What did you see them doing in the mounting room!"

"Honestly sir. They were just... mounting."

ante meridiem vs post meridiem


Last week, I called the hospital to make an appointment with my specialist.

I was given a Tuesday, 12.10 p.m. slot.

"Can I have a morning appointment instead?"

"Doctor only sees on Tuesday and Thursday."

"So can I have the next available date but a morning timing please?"

"Let me check... OK. Thursday. 11.55 A-M!"

"Never mind. I'll stick to Tuesday 12.10 P-M"
