Thanks! That was a good laugh though. @Ilaria. Welcome to the club! Yes, I'm sure we could build a compendium of those jokes. I think our job makes us behave like police investigators all the time, asking questions such as: what does this person REALLY mean to say? In your example: Why is this woman here? In my case, my unconscious was telling me: Why on earth is he using an acronym that I've never seen before? What does this mean? @Karen. Thanks! That was a good laugh though.

Want a good laugh? In one of my first assignments I came across a female German shepherd reacting in a positive way to somebody's don't-remember-what behaviour. And I was wondering what was a German countryside woman doing in a totally alien environment and why on earth should one specify that woman's job. Of course, it was a dog.
