Today at work I built a second leg for a one-legged dummy and then mummified it (the whole dummy, not just the leg). Also, the three body bags are finally finished.
Bet you've never said that in regards to YOUR job.

Conversation at Work
"So, how's it going?"
"I'm a little frustrated - I'm making a body bag and that sewing machine is giving me grief."
". . . Wow."
"I know, right?"
"Well, cheer up - 'tis the season!"
"Oh, not to worry - recalcitrant sewing machines come and go. Tomorrow, another one will have an attitude and mine will be fine! (Pause) Also, I'm working on my vocabulary."
"Been hitting the dictionary again?"
"I'm trying to quit!"
(Shaking head) "It's an addiction."
"No, it's a-diction-ary!"
". . ."
"Sorry."
This was (very close to) a real conversation. It's not quite a real job, but I'm enjoying it anyway. (I'll let you know how the body bag turns out.)
