Rumors and Gossip

At work today, some of my coworkers and I were talking, and somehow, my interest in kayaking was addressed.  One of my coworkers commented that another coworker (not present) and I enjoy the same interest. The way the comment was made, it almost sounded as if we went kayaking together.  I acknowledged the shared interest, but was quick to point out we have never been kayaking together.  We got a good laugh, as two of the coworkers present admitted they assumed that I had been kayaking with the kayaking coworker.

We all agreed, laughingly, that this is how rumors get started. And, it is true.
