Meeting

Last week we had a large-scale department meeting. The meeting was called by Cowboy, who wanted to have some brainstorming sessions about upcoming projects.

He called the meeting for 1PM, but when we all gathered in the conference room Cowboy was nowhere to be seen.

Big Dawg suggested that we all go line the hallway on either side so that when Cowboy finally did arrive, we could all politely "golf clap" for him. Big Dawg's goal was to get Cowboy to blush *and* laugh.

But none of us were too enthusiastic about getting up, so Cowboy came into the room unchallenged. We did pick on him a bit though, being late to his own meeting and all.

Cowboy apologized and chuckled. The worst of the harassment was over. He started the meeting. "First of all," he said, "I want to make sure you all know that these meetings are not always going to be the sort of thing where we all just show up at 1 and just throw around a lot of ideas."

"Yeah," I interrupted. "Sometimes it'll be one oh five."

The room dissolved into chaos. Several tears were shed. And in the middle of it all, Cowboy ducked his head, blushed... and laughed.

Sometimes absolute hilarity only requires 7 words.
