From Solemn to Hilarious



Just got back from a meeting.


Chair-person (lady) was pretty serious.  New on the job, oozing with enthusiasm and eager to make a good impression.  But half-way through the solemn affair, someone saw a nice blind-spot in her field of vision and decided to toss in a banana peel.



---------------------------------------------------


Chair-person:  This item has been on this minutes for the last two weeks.  Why can't we proceed with the sample build?


Project guy:  We're still short of some raw materials.  The parts are coming in soon… within these two days. 


Chair-person:  When is the deadline?


Project guy:  Yesterday…


Chair-person:  Did someone request for an extension?


Project guy:  Done…


Chair-person:  Any other surprises that can stop us?  Equipments ready?


Project guy:  Done.  We'll run the process as soon as possible.


Chair-person:  Soon? 


Project guy:  Can't promise until I see the parts are OK.


Chair-person:  How soon?  Can we have a date?


Project guy:  I'm flattered…but..


Chair-person:  ???  Come again?


Project guy:  Sorry, you're not my type...

    OK. I come clean.
    There was a real meeting, but it was borrrriiiinnnng. My invovlement was more like spectator status. So I started "taking notes". The 'can we have a date?' statement was plucked from history, and the story developed from there. I tagged it as 'fiction'.

    I was the one who made the original gaffe many years ago at a similar meeting. The guy who responded didn't catch it until I myself started laughing and when he realized it, he grinned and said, "I'm not that type".....hahaha...
    I'm just thinking; the US president makes so many of them, everyone thinks it's natural for him.
