The Most Absurd Things recently overheard around the workplace this month:
"Sheila Lamb [our new client, the Matt Lamb-Dali Museum] has 62 of her own personal paintings hanging in the Vatican Museum." – My boss
"Viagra: from the laundry room to the beach!" – Maura, my colleague's very own tagline for Viagra, loosely based on a recent television commercial. It's pretty self-explanatory even if you haven't seen it.
"That's a lot of nappy nappiness on that piece of nap." – John, my colleague referring to a fuzzy velcro dot fastener on a new product packaging we created.
"If you can't eat it or fuck it, then men won't be interested." – Our new client, Matt Lamb, the artist.
"What does the 'K&K' in our partner K&K Foods stand for? Is it A) Konfucious & Karma; B) Karate & Kung Fu; C) Katherine & Kelly; D) Khaos & Konfusion? Answer: Moses Lee, OSI's partner and CEO of K&K Foods Taiwan named the company after his two daughters. After the birth of their third daughter "Kimberley", Moses considered changing the company name to KKK, but realized that might not be a good idea..." – PowerPoint presentation I'm putting together for a global managers conference we're running. Hey, I don't write the stuff.
"I met a man today who didn't speak for 17 years." – My boss, referring to a keynote speaker at the 4th Annual Earth Day Conference hosted by the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. I guess he finally broke his silence.
