    Meetings

    So, we were in a meeting discussing spare parts for our system with the Japanese guys. They flew over especially. They had some bad news, too, that some parts on our 4 year old equipment are obsolete.

    My boss said, 'that's one hell of a bomb you just dropped on us'.

    ...

    It was tough to keep a straight face.

    We were having a meeting about how our group was organized. One guy said, "we all fill each others holes...."

    Nobody could think of a viable reply.

    That's a good one.

    Those situations are golden if you are not the one with their foot in their mouth.

    Re: Meetings

    So I finally landed a job as a Wal-Mart greeter, unfortunately I lasted less than a day.

    About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance. Per my greeter training manual I said pleasantly, “Good morning and welcome to Wal-Mart.” “Nice children you have there. Are they twins?”

    The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, “He** no, they ain’t twins. The oldest one is 9, and the other one is 7. Why the he** would you think they’re twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?”
    So I replied, “I’m neither blind nor stupid, madam. I just couldn’t believe someone slept with you twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.”

    My supervisor said I probably wasn’t cut out for this line of work.

    Well after all it was Wal-Mart. Last time I drove by one of those there seemed to be enough carnies and transients lurking about the parking lot to start an online dating site. I'm sure plenty were blind or high enough on meth and paint thinner fumes to be considered blind, thus her odds might be pretty good.
