One of my jobs each morning is to wash the stairs in the office building. I do this between 5:15 and 5:30. This morning I was about 1/3 of the way down on the last flight when one of the doctors opened the door at the bottom. She had come in early but uses the stairs for a little morning exercise. This lady is an oncologist so one must assume that she's not an entire idiot but she is of Swedish decent and very Blondie. Anyway, when she opened the door, I turned and said "Hi Dorothy, would you mind using the elevator today?" I've got a dripping mop in my hands and a squeeze bucket sitting at the top of the flight but she says "Why do I have to use the elevator?" Took me a whole second to come up with "The stairs are broken". She came out with a very huffy "Well, when are they going to be fixed?" She caught on a few seconds after I started laughing and thankfully got a good chuckle as well.
