Coworkers

Girl: …did you go to Overheard in the Office? It said, “Helpful Co-worker: Does anyone want anything from Starbucks? Tired Co-worker: Yeah, get me a triple iced mocha with a shot of crack in it.”
Guy: That sounds delicious, although I don’t think baking soda tastes so good.
Girl: Believe it or not, I’ve actually tried baking soda–for heartburn. Works great, tastes like ass.
Guy: Are you for real? Think of the wonders crack must do for heartburn, then.
Girl: What heartburn? You don’t eat anything while you’re on crack!
Guy: By the way, your last comment was Overheard in the Office worthy.
