Work Conversation

So my dad has my work number, and sometimes he will call that instead of my cell when he has a question for me. Usually just to make fun of the way I answer the phone. So anyways, CPT L's phone rings, and I hear him pick it up. He's talking for a couple of second and tells the caller that I have switched desks and he will transfer him. He then asks who it is. So then, he says, "It's your dad, I'll transfer him over." But for some reason, he accidentally pushes the wrong extension. So then he has to pick it up again and tell my dad he's trying again. I'm not sure what the fuck he was doing, but it took about 5 minutes for him to transfer the fucking call over.

ANYWAYS, so I finally get the call and my dad says, "Do you have a contract for special people to work in your office?" I thought I was going to die laughing. And I just say, "No, that was CPT L. We switched desks." Because obviously CPT L is still within hearing range, so I can't say what I want to say. SO my dad proceeds to lay into me about CPT L. "Wow. I thought he was retarded. I thought maybe it was a private There is no way that that guy is a Captain." To which I say, "And it's even better in person. Appearances are very telling" So then my dad says, "That just goes to show you can get promoted if you have a pulse and can string two sentences together. Actually, excuse me, that guy actually couldn't string two sentences together so that must not even be a requirement." It was so funny. He just kept going on and on about how retarded CPT L sounded on the phone for the two minutes they were on the phone together.
