Bored Meeting

Sometimes I wonder why I work. Then, I attend a meeting or two and am quickly reminded why: blog material.

While Sleepless and I attended a very important meeting one of the members provided a subcommittee report. “I met with my subcommittee everyday last month; It’s just me, I’m the only member. I have a lot of good ideas.” Later, the chair asked other members if they would like to join the subcommittee. “I’d like to join, but I can’t meet that often,” someone replied.

In another meeting someone mentioned they wouldn’t be distributing the large foam thumbs created for their campaign. “Is that because of Miley Cyrus?” I asked. “Yes,” they replied. Fortunately, I convinced them otherwise.

Then, while some teenagers who haven’t had the best lives were presenting their successes and recommendations to a panel of lawmakers one of the lawmakers said, “I’m surprised. You look so normal.”

While this was happening someone was in a courtroom somewhere discussing a man’s penis. “We’re willing to stipulate to the fact that he is uncircumcised because we have no way of knowing.” “Sure we do. We can all go in chambers right now,” suggested the judge. At this point nobody cared about briefs. What was important, however, was jurisdicktion. Last thing anybody in this courtroom wanted was a hung jury. Or did they want a hung jury? What a second, everybody’s attention please. Looks like somebody is about to give an oral argument.

Bored meeting? No way, not today anyway.
