Thank goodness for mute buttons.

On a conference call just now, a moment of awkward silence... after the person speaking said to someone "I'd like to get off with you." (Methinks he meant "I'd like to get with you offline.")

And this is why I prefer conference calls to in-person meetings. The mute button saved them from hearing me spit my coffee. :rofl:
