Found a Stud.

I've mentioned before that my American coworkers and I are terrible to each other. Today was no different. We had a huge powerout at work, and couldn't get on the generator, so we sat around on the surface plate and talked a bit. One of the guys launched into joking about how hot and sexy he is, and I rolled my eyes.
But it made me think about a time last week where we were talking about cell phone apps, and someone mentioned the metal detector/stud finder app the droid has. I said "Oh I have that!" and the manager said, "That's why your phone beeped when you come in the room."
Oh if ONLY I had been quicker on my feet I would have held up the phone to him and showed the lack of response.
So I figured now was the time to use the joke. So I pulled up the metal detector app and held it near my coworker.
The Damn Thing Went Off.
I forgot we were both sitting on the steel surface plate.
Once I explained the beep we all died laughing. Oh well, I don't mind the joke backfiring as long as it was still funny. (and god it was funny.)
