Probably wouldn't have caused me trouble at work -- I think -- but I played it safe.
And yeah, that was pretty damned funny.
Reminds me of a guy I saw a couple times in college -- he was a grad student in Physics at Princeton, and worked at the Plasma Physics Lab (the fusion folks), but he sidelined in stand-up comedy. As part of his act he told a story about getting pulled over for speeding, flashing his PPL ID and giving the cop a cock-and-bull story about an "imminent meltdown" or some other disaster. The cop not only let him go, but escorted him, lights flashing and sirens wailing, as they sped even faster all the way to his destination.
