So Much for Learning by Osmosis

Receptionist of 30 years: Is 'lawsuit' one word or two?
Intern: Uh, I believe it's two.
Receptionist, to herself: Lawsuit. Lawsuit. Lawsuit. It should be two. I always wondered why they called it a suit. It doesn't wear a jacket or pants. Oh, but the attorneys do. Maybe that's why -- because the attorneys have to wear suits to court. Wow, I can't believe I figured that out after so many years.
Boss, walking in from next office: So! Linda! Have you thought some more about the retirement package you were offered?
