Can't get it up

[Darkwish]

This happened just yesterday.

I was sitting in the break room with 2 female coworkers. They were reading the horrorscopes (yes, I know how it's spelled) in some stupid local weekly newspaper. Next to the horror scopes are a bunch of ads for medical studies, including one for bipolar disorders and one for genital herpes (I have neither, tyvm). The following conversation then ensues:

S - coworker #1
E - coworker #2
Me - some loser

S - "Hey! You should try out for this study!" <points to paper>
Me - "What study???" (only ad I can see from where I'm sitting is the one for genital herpes)
S - "The one for bipolar disorders!"
E - "But he's not bipolar! He never get's it up!"
Me -
<both women start cracking up as they realize what was just said>
Me - <indignant tone> "And just how would YOU know???" <and no, I don't have that problem either>

Of course they were both laughing at my expense during the rest of the break...

Do they even know what Bipolar is?

Do they even know what Bipolar is?

Yes. She was trying to refer to the fact that I'm not a cheery person and it came out wrong... very, very wrong... And of course I was the only guy in the group, which only made them laugh harder...


We all have very "dirty" minds, so we all thought the exact same thing when she said it.
