| Jim: | Argh...I feel terrible, I keep sneezing and my eyes are all watery, what’s wrong with me? |
| |
| Tom: | Wow, you’re not dying are you, it looks like you have a cold, you should take some medicine. |
| |
| Jim: | I don’t think it’s a cold, I feel fine if I move a few feet away from my desk. |
| |
| Tom: | Maybe we should put you into quarantine ha ha, jokes aside, I think you might have an allergy. |
| |
| Jim: | An allergy? I never thought about that, I don’t think I’m allergic to pollen though and I’m desensitized to bee stings after being stung so many times, Hmm… |
| |
| Jim: | Ow! Why did you chuck that peanut at me? |
| |
| Tom: | Just checking if you’re allergic to peanuts, I guess not. |
| |
| Jim: | Not funny! I could have gone into Anaphylactic Shock. |
| |
| Tom: | Okay my bad, how about dust? This office is full of it. |
| |
| Jim: | Yes the whole is office is dusty yet I only feel affected near our desks! |
| |
| Cat: | Meow meow meow |
| |
| Jim: | You brought your cat into the office?! |
| |
| Tom: | Yes, it’s Mr Snuffle’s birthday today, I didn’t want him to be alone on his special day! |
| |
| Jim: | ACHOO! Argh put it away ACHOO! |
| |
| Tom: | I guess we found the problem, your allergic to cats! |
