HP what?

Two people 'communicating' at work:

Anderson: Got HP?
Patterson: You mean Hewlett-Packard Pavilion notebooks (laptops)?

Anderson: No, the book I mean. Do you or any of your friends have it?
Patterson: Oh yea, got it. You mean that children's book - Happy Potter. My room-mate was reading it last night. He also keeps his little toy-truck and LEGO blocks along while reading it.

Anderson: Grrr. Has he completed reading it?
Patterson: No, I don't think so. He just has got to half the book. In his class, they have only taught him till the letter 'P' and so he is waiting for the remaining to be taught for him to complete it.

Anderson: Grrrrrr. Can you get me the book after he's done?
Patterson: Ya, okay. But which book do you mean?
"Harry Potter and the three blind mice"
"Harry Potter goes shopping"
"Harry Potter with his grandchildren - special old-age edition"
"Harry Potter in the World War"
"Harry Potter's guide to Plasma TVs"
"Harry Potter missing"
"Harry Potter meets Patterson"

Anderson: Gr^9. I meant "Harry Potter kills Patterson"
Patterson: Wow, lend me that book. Would like to know about the ending.

Anderson: Pleeeese.
Patterson: Hmmmph. Will ask him and let you know. (Pause) Got it.

Anderson: Ok, keep it with you. Will let you know when I need it.
Patterson: Fine...

Anderson: Thanks a lot^12.
Patterson: :-)
