During the course of our lives, there are some random events that unfold. Some of these events teach us that we have an ill-conceived perception of our lives and who we really are. In some instances (such as the following material) we realize that we may not be as mature or grown-up as we once thought. Yesterday, in a blazing moment of clarity, I learned just this.
It was early in the afternoon and a colleague and I were sitting in the office. We were diligently at work on the computer when we heard a particular phrase. A vendor for our company was on the phone with one of our stores. We work for a grocery retailer, so this phrase was within context. The vendor was addressing a deli manager and offered the following:
"When do you want me to come cut the cheese with you?"
A new initiative for our delis has been a cheese wheel program that is sliced fresh and sold to our customers. However, my friend and I looked at each other and both broke into manic laughter at the same time. I'm sometimes embarrassed to say that dick-and-fart jokes will never get old. I think we both laughed ourselves to tears. Furthermore, the vendor had no idea what we were laughing about. A "had to be there" moment? Probably. But I still thought I'd share this little gem with the users of myspace, who apparently enjoy reading my blogs.
