telephone game

Further proof that I need to break down and go back to the audiologist and get a hearing aid:

Today my 3/4 boss was taking a new shirt from our store display. She said she turned her old one pink by "washing it with a marionette". Just in case you don't know what that is... look here. Finally I managed to interrupt her stupid little hahahas to ask why she was washing a marionette in a machine (or even own one for that matter). Oh, it was actually a "linen napkin". So the equation is:

"linen napkin"
+ 20ft
+ coworker's easy listening radio station
+ otosclerosis (tiny earbones with calcium crud on them)
= "marionette"
