One of the many reasons why I love meetings so is how people answer questions, take for example if I asked the question “how many fingers am I holding up?” In a typical meeting for me, the answer would be something like this:
Ok, well you have your thumb, your index finger, your middle finger, your ring finger, you pinky finger. Your thumb is technically not a finger so it wouldn’t count, but then again its not up anyway, your pinky is down, your ring finger is down, your middle finger is up, and while your index finger was up, for some reason you have now put it down, so only your middle finger remains.
That’s right mother-fucker, next time answer the damn question. Seventy-two words for a one word answer, and I only wish I was exaggerating.
