SMELL FISHY

Sally witnessed something really strange in the office this morning:

PETER: What's wrong, Sally?
SALLY: Oh, Peter. I don't know how I can tell you that...
PETER: Tell me what?
SALLY: I saw Michael and Ms. Moore together in her office. 
PETER: So what?
SALLY: He was hugging her in a different way...you know.
PETER: Hummm....It smells fishy to me.




If something SMELLS FISHY TO YOU, it seems suspicious. They are probably thinking that Michael is having an affair with their boss.

Do you like to be THE THIRD WHEEL? Do you usually hang out with your best friend when he/she is with his/her girlfriend/boyfriend? 
If you answered "Yes, I do", it means that you are the third wheel. You're not needed, but you are always there.




WIN HANDS DOWN

Peter and Sally are playing their favorite game: Mortal Kombat. Peter is trying to defeat Sally, but...

PETER: You'll never win!

Speaker: "Kitana wins - Flawless Victory"

SALLY: You see! I won hands down.


If you WIN HANDS DOWN, you win very easily.

ON THE QUIET


Have you ever done anything on the quiet? I bet you have!


So, if I say that a friend is seeing someone on the quiet, what does it mean?


a) He's seeing someone publicly.
b) He's seeing someone secretly.
c) He's seeing someone every night.

If you chose letter B
you're right!

NOT TO SLEEP A WINK

Sally notices that Peter is not feeling well, so she decides to strike up a conversation with him:

SALLY: Hey Peter, what's wrong with you?
PETER: I had a terrible stomachache last night and I didn't sleep a wink.
SALLY: Oh, dear! Why don't you see a doctor?
PETER: I've taken some medicine already. If I don't feel better, I will.
SALLY: Ok, then.






Peter DIDN'T SLEEP A WINK last night, so it means that he didn't sleep at all.
TO WORK YOUR FINGERS TO THE BONE

It's Friday night and Peter decides to meet his friend Michael for a beer:

MICHAEL: So, how've you been, buddy?
PETER: I've been working my fingers to the bone.
MICHAEL: So it means you got a promotion, right?
PETER: I wish I had...




So, if you WORK YOUR FINGERS TO THE BONE, you work extremely hard, especially for a long time. Poor Peter! :(
