Scaring Female Colleagues

There's a reason why pregnancy is 9 months but not 9 weeks. Just had a quick lunch catch-up with a few of my female colleagues, discussing about pregnancy, labour and new motherhood. Rach declared that she was going to adopt instead and I told her that that would not be the wisest choice. Surprised why I would say that since I was complaining how uncomfortable being pregnant is, I told her my theory simply. "Well if the baby is giving you trouble, you would think twice strangling it." They all stared wide-eyed at me, waiting for me to continue. "You wouldn't want to go through the pregnancy for another 9 months again." --- It's just a joke folks, pregnancy is a beautiful thing..just wish it could be easier sometimes. ;)

Full Time Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a full-time job. It makes sense to get paid. Noticed that my colleague was looking really tense on a Friday,  I asked him out of concern. " Hey, what's up today? Cheer up, it's Friday...weekends' round the corner!" He sighed as he dropped his head, saying he had a campaign launching on that day. With a serious and straight face, I patted his shoulders and told him solemnly. " You know Zach, pregnancy really changed my perspective about work." Surprised with my change of tone, he looked up and waited for me to continue.  "You can rest during the weekends but I am still pregnant during the weekends." ---
