ntrprnr 0 #1 September 6, 2006 Was in a meeting today, discussing a reporter I wanted to take off our media lists. Basically, this reporter doesn't cover the beat anymore, there's no reason to keep him on this specific client's list. Client was like, "Oh, but we like him, blah, blah," I said, "Look, we have handles for a reason. We can't be afraid to use them. That's why they're there. Which was met, of course, with dead silence. From which I attempted a feeble recovery with "Um, to um... you know, handle him. Um, out of our media list. You know." To which the client who knows I jump turned to the rest of them and said, "I think it's a skydiving reference." It was funny. :)_______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GogglesnTeeth 6 #9 September 6, 2006 When I was a student, I would practice reaching for my pilot chute and arching while riding my bike no hands on a bike path. Of course the path was along the side of a couple roads, so I'm sure I got a few odd looks. But I've been getting those looks all my life. Goggles and Teeth "You fall like a greased safe!!!"

Sweetness 0 #18 September 6, 2006 When I went swimming with the kids from camp a few weeks ago, I noticed I was always sinking away in the water. I thought 'how strange' ... after half an hour I noticed what the problem was: I was arching the whole time ! (My instructor said that's a good sign when I told him what happened "Ha ! I laugh at danger and drop ice cubes down the vest of fear ..." (Blackadder) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
