The Onion: Officemates Unwittingly Spend Entire Workday Talking To Each Other On Grindr

HOUSTON—Without either man ever becoming aware of the other’s identity, coworkers Matthew Durbin, 28, and Caleb Simmons, 26, spent an entire workday exchanging salacious messages with each other on the gay male dating site Grindr, sources reported Monday. “Are you as horny as I am right now?” Durbin wrote to Lucky_88, which, unbeknownst to him, is the username of the man who sits 30 feet away from him and with whom he occasionally exchanges awkward small talk in the office break room. “I want to stick my tongue into your hot, wet mouth. I’m getting hard just thinking about it.” At press time, sources confirmed the men’s plan to hook up had been aborted after each had arrived at the agreed-upon meeting place and unexpectedly caught sight of a coworker.

PS Please don't spoil the magic by pointing out the rather obvious flaw in this otherwise good gag.

  1. Yes, apart from the fact the flaw in the gag renders the point of the joke redundant, it's an otherwise good gag.

  2. Alright, I give up. What's the flaw? I'm not sure you're both right.
