The other funny moment

Ok, so this is a continuation of the Embarassing Moment.
This one dinn happen with me, but as I said, its damn cool.
The background goes like this....
We got this project where we are building some user input screens. I am the one who prepared the screen mocks and gave it to the team in Zurich to make them.
Now, the screens were done and we had a meeting to discuss how much work was there to input all the information through these screens and blah blah blah.
I prepared an excel with the information and gave it to two different managers in-charge of the getting the data into the system.

The Meeting Scene
I was sittng there with my British Friend. Our Irish Manager was also there. On Call was a lady from Jersey Islands. The purpose of themeeting was to discuss how much time it would take to get the work done.
So, we are going through the excel sheet and talking about a lot of things related to the system.
When the list related to our side was over and we had to look at the list related to the Jersey Islands, my Manager goes:

Manager: So, Anna, how big is yours?
(There is a huge pause. I am trying not to laugh and my British friend is smiling way too nicely.)
Manager: I think I need to re-phrase that sentence. Ok, lets move on.

Thats it. It was so short, but it was just too good.
Total Entertainment.
