Awkward Work Conversation

Colleen to Dwayne: "I was talking to Michael in the chemsitry lab and he did the hardness test on those balls from the ballnut from 2 weeks ago. They were hardness 54-58. Were they in spec?"

Dwayne, smiling and blushing, speaking slowly to Colleen: "Ummmm. No. The balls were soft..."

Colleen: "Yes, I know this is an awkward conversation. So the balls were soft. Now what?"

Dwayne: "Well I guess I go back to the supplier and talk to them about their balls..."

Just another day as a steering gear engineer...
