Linguistics at work

Apr 11, 2008 11:19

Coworker: "Jeeze, we need more spanish speakers here to manage the phones."

Me: "My wife speaks spanish, but usually only when she's cussing me out."

Coworker: "Hey, I didn't know you married a spanish girl! My cousin married a chick from Honduras. She makes the best tamales you've ever had."

Me: "My wife is from Scotland."

Coworker: "...oh."

*awkward silence*

Is it wrong that I enjoy making a coworker feel slightly uncomfortable?
