What would he have said if they were two new white technicians I wonder. 

 

Cheers to the secretary.

Probably something like, "two new 'warm brothers' (German saying for gay) for the workers" but that was the way our office was. Other departments were more correct and boring. I needed information once from the engine designers, I walked into their office with my company pass attached to my jacket with a paper clip because the official plastic clip had broken. The young man I spoke to was horrified, he kept telling me to get the correct clip, he barely listened to my questions, his eyes kept resting on the paper clip. When I got back to the sanity of my department I was delighted to hear an engineer ask another engineer (both in their 60's) from across the room, 'What's your password Walter" (he was working on the other guy's computer) "Oh, errrm, I can't say that out loud, I'll come over to you".
