Is this thing on?

We have had a mic stand (with a microphone) in our office for like two months, since the lip sync contest kept getting postponed due to weather. But seeing people's reaction to the mic was so hilarious. Everyone who came into the office would step up to the mic and either pretend to sing, ask "is this thing on?" and tap it, or just pretend to speak into it like they were at a town council meeting or something. Personally, my mind goes to spelling bees, so I always stepped up to the mic and asked "could you use it in a sentence?"

Good times, people. Good times.
