   Hello, all   
      
   How  do  you  find  the grammar in the following de-   
   scription of an incident from my workplace?   
      
   A colleaque leans into the doorway of my office  and   
   asks me rather amiably:   
      
   -- Anton, will you go to lunch with us?   
   -- Yeah, directly, -- answer I,   
      
   upon  which he leans out, makes a step down the pas-   
   sage, and exlaims "Oh, fuck" in gunuine anguish.   
      
   I grew surprised and embarrased because other people   
   had  seen  and  heard this unexpected reaction to my   
   harmless answer, and went to investigate.   My  col-   
   league  had  sworn when he badly struck his shoulder   
   or elbow upon the door jamb or some such 0structural   
   element while clearing the doorway :-)
