So the Boss, PM Director, former-PM-turned-Sales were playing a game of "where are they now" with the people they used to work with, and I'm eavesdropping, when suddenly the conversation turned to HK trips.
Now the PM and Sales had an unspoken agreement before that they would work together to minimize the number of HK trips they need to make. They're both family men and foreigners and not a big fan of chinese food, so they don't enjoy HK much.
However, now the Sales guy doesn't really have just cause to go to HK anymore, so he looks right at Boss and asks how long it's been since PM went to HK. Cue uproar and frantic damage control from PM, and more fuel-tossing from Sales.
Quotes
PM: "That was complete and utter bullshit. I'm getting him back and you'll know when it happens."
Sales: "He was giving me the finger while trying to claim he just went."
Boss: "Hasn't it been 6 years since your last trip?"
I really had to smother my laughs so I won't draw any attention and have it go on for as long as possible.
