S<\/span>o for a couple of months at work, there has been this “contraption” hanging on the wall of one line of cubicles on my floor. I walk past it ever time I head to the bathroom or the elevators and every time I glance over at it and wonder. I wonder, “What in the world is that thing? Is it some sort of tablet holder, charger, coat or hat rack, or just what is it?”<\/p>\n

I said, “I see! So, you just store it there when it’s not in use right?” She laughed and said, “Exactly!”<\/p>\n

I then said, because I have no mental or verbal filter, “Well a few of us over in my row have been wondering what that is for months. I kind of thought it looked like a movie novelty souvenir from “50 Shades of Grey”, but that was just my guess.” Thankfully, they all roared with laughter.<\/p>\n

Later in the day, a lady who hadn’t been there at the time came over to my office and commented to me about how hilarious my guesss had been and gave me a high five.<\/p>\n

Yes! Hey, if my 50 Shades of Confusion leads to a laugh, I’ll take it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
