Joking around while working pretty intensely is certainly possible and it happens almost continuously. I brought in a load of books from outside the other day, noted what I saw in the parking lot and started saying, "Tina Fey is in our library! She must be! There's a car out there with New York plates and it says "F-E-Y" on the license plate. She's got to be here somewhere."
"All you have to do is look for Sarah Palin," said one of my co-workers. Another asked, "what kind of car is it?"
Oh, right. Talk about challenged when it comes to vehicles--I was born in Detroit and couldn't tell you one car from another (but I host a mean all-Michigan radio show every January). "It's a blue-grey car," I laughed. "Okay, I'll go back and look."
Well, my story was shot. Even I know that Tina Fey wouldn't drive a Hyundai Accent.
