So I'm on duty at my employer's national annual general meeting - at a hotel - just basically hanging out in the hallway between the meeting rooms and making sure to look spiffy whenever the big-shot delegates are moving between meeting rooms.
They've contracted a facilitator to organize all the details - both official and extracurricular - of the week-long event. She's busy on her lap top and phone at the long table set up in the wide hallway for herself and her brochures and name tags and lanyards and various goodies and trinket trash. I offer to grab her a snack from the buffet just down the hall. She accepts.
Later, as I'm passing by, she suddenly pushes her dirty dishes and coffee cup toward me and states, "I'm done with these."
There's a prize if you can guess what my response was:
1. Yep, you sure are.
2. Well, it's about time!
3. Good girl! Now you can have some pudding and then it's bed time for you, punkin.
4. Oh, well let me get that for you. So how DID your husband die? Oh, wait. wait. Never mind. I just figured it out.
5. Okay. Shall I summon some loser to take them away for you?
6. Very good. Shall I bring you a dessert menu?
7. So you are. But I only handle other people's dirty dishes at my own initiative or when I'm asked nicely.
8. Are you sure you're done? You couldn't have got that plump skipping seconds.
9. Excellent, and as security guard clearly falls below busboy on the evolutionary scale - it would be my privilege to take them away for you.
10. Oh goodie. May I lick them clean now?
11. That's nice.
12. Very nice. Are you ready to make poopies?
13. Holy shit, you ate it ALL! Oink oink oink oink!
13. Holy shit, you ate it ALL! Oink oink oink oink!
14. Oh no you're not. You didn't eat the invisible pickle.
15. Yeah, I'm done with mine, too. I'll just leave them here with yours.
16. Even the fork? But you're not done sucking the chrome off it.
17. Well, fuck a duck! That's amazing!
18. You don't say?
19. Excellent. Shall I rinse them off for you before you hide them in your purse?
20. (None of the above)

I'm leaning toward #15, because that's what I would have said, if I had thought of it in time.
I would have said number one. But that wasn't the question, eh?
