irene221bБуду излагать по английски, потому что все равно смешно только тем, кто в курсе культурных кодов.
Friday, a Big American Boss (BAB) invites all the R&D teams for a conference call at 14.00.
Our team joins the call at 13.58, puts the phone on mute and listens to various people joining.
Big American Boss joins at 14.01, says hello to everyone, let's wait 5 more minutes. People keep joining.
At 14.05 the show starts.
BAB: Is everyone here? Is Austria on the phone, I haven't heard them joining?
Austria team: Yes, we are here, we've come early.
My boss: True to the form, with beach towels too.
1st engineer: Do austrians have this reputation as well?
Me: Well, they are germans, for all practical purposes.
My boss, with feigned horror: What are you doing, do you want to start another european war?
Me, with feigned indignation: What do you mean another? I've never started a war.
2nd engineer: Yes, they did it.
All the team together: They invaded Poland!
