Random work stuff

So about five minutes ago, I heard whistling in the office. Quiet whistling. I immediately knew what it was, too, and looked around for the source.
Eventually I found one of the managers with the speakers of his computer turned up.
Me: "Sergio Leone?"
Manager: "Sorry?"
Me: "That's the theme from Once Upon a Time in the West. Sergio Leone."
Manager: "Oh, yes. It's from Once Upon a Time in the West."
Me: "That's what I just said. I love those movies."
We proceeded to have a fun five-minute conversation about Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood, and the lasting effect of the Spaghetti Westerns on the popular psyche.
I also proved, once again, that I can recognize Ennio Morricone at thirty paces.
Rock on.
