I share an office with two coworkers. Both nice people with whom I get along just fine.
Earlier today my female coworker received a phone call, and I heard her say, "Oh, OK." Two seconds later, I received a phone call from the front desk downstairs, letting me know I had received something in the mail.
"Oh, OK," I replied.
I stood up and went to retrieve my Lord of the Rings Blu-Ray set. I looked at my coworker and asked her, "Would you like me to grab your package?"
She smiled and seemed a bit confused, but I (pleased with my deduction that we'd both received a call from downstairs) offered, "That's what she said."
That's what she said.
It's a great saying that has traveled from awesome to lame back to awesome again. (And, perhaps, back to lame. I don't care.) It was repopularized on the NBC version of the Office, and the BBC version of the Office had the classic "Said an actress to a bishop" version... which I rarely use, on account of its lack of ubiquity.
So I said, "That's what she said," and overlooked her continued confusion. Maybe she thought it was lame, or maybe she thought I was being too cheeky. In either case, I shrugged and exited the room.
I went downstairs and there was one package. My package.
Now it was my turn to be confused.
Upon returning to my desk, I asked whether she'd received something in the mail.
She informed me that she had received nothing but a wrong phone call from the wrong desk.
Oops. I did not see that coming.
That's what she said.
