So we had a surprise visit from the fire marshal the other day at work. We asked him for identification, and he jokingly said he didn't think he needed any since he was a terrorist. So my coworker replies (jokingly, mind you) with the suggestion that he pick up his anthrax in the back. All goes silent for about 5 seconds--you could hear the proverbial crickets--and he says "What?" in a low, dangerous tone. So, we say again, hesitantly, that if he was a terrorist (nervous half-laugh added at this point) that we had the anthrax he ordered in the back. Crickets again. And then he just moves on to the next subject as if nothing happened.
?!?!?!
I can't remember exactly what the second incident was, but that time it was crickets on our end because we didn't know how to react. We still don't know whether he was joking or not. If I remember the particulars later, I'll add them in. At least we passed the inspection... I guess that's the important thing. He wasn't anything like Fire Marshal Bill. Could it be that Jim Carey was not portraying the typical fire marshal?
