Architecture

- Hey, how did the meeting go?

- Well, uh, we tried our best but client chose the safe option.

- Did you even present the hanging building?

- They thought it was too controversial.

- Too controversial?

- Doesn’t really fit their image.

- Of course it fits their image.

- So, can we have the final draft ready by next week?

- Tell the client we’re giving it to them for free.

- F-f- for free?

- We’re gonna go ahead and do up the hanging building. Get the developers in my office. Also, I’ll need a vacant plot, somewhere far away from the city so it’s cheaper.

- Uh, this is just for awards right?

- Are you still here? I thought I told you to call the developers.

Medical

- Take two of these in the morning, one tablespoon after lunch and this one, once at night.

- Are there options?

- Sorry? This is what the doctor prescribed.

- I know. You guys never present options. The clinic down the road does my check-up at once and gives me a prescription within 30 seconds. Sometimes, I get up to five options.

- I’m sorry, sir, we don’t …

F&B

- Sir, my finance director is a little worried.

- Really? How can I help?

- Well, you’ve eaten here about uh, 35 times and you haven’t settled the bills.

- I think we need to relook at costs. There are still some areas we can cut.

- Can we at least settle the first 5 bills?

- Hey, what happened to my order?

- It’s on the way.

- You know lately, you guys have been pretty slack with timelines.
