Probably explains why I can only work for myself…

Best one I ever overheard:
Guy at a wedding trying to impress the bridesmaid he is dancing with. Very traditional wedding where the main course (a humungous roast of beef) was led into the room by a man in a kilt playing the bagpipes.

Our intrepid guy is obviously running out of things to say to the bridesmaid. Scanning about for something topical to say, he proceeds to tell her that you should never suck on the airpipe of a bagpipes because they are never cleaned and all manner of horrible beasties and spores live in there and you could die a horrible lingering death …

If memory serves, he didn’t get a second dance.

Oh, Jason. There are too many instances of this in my life for me to remember, but I hope I’m getting better. I’ll revisit this post if something happens today.
