I tried to count the puns, but they were too many for my bird-brain.

I hate to Harpy on the subject, and it might seem to be a bitter pill to swallow, but if you keep posting bad puns you might need to seek eagle advice. You may tern the tables though, because as we know, toucan play at that game.

Like just after we were married I offered to do the laundry. Reds with whites. It cost me a bunch for new clothes, but haven't been allowed to do laundry for 40 years.
|
|
|
|
|
Back when we had to "go out" for laundry I just overfilled the machines. Pregnant Mrs. told me I could fit it in 4 and I proudly returned telling her it fit in two. She still remembers and I'm still not allowed to do laundry.

My wife won't let me wash clothes. However, after 48 years of marriage, I must have dried and folded millions of loads of laundry. If only I could find away to get out of that....
Wear your mask. Think of it as an act of charity, to yourself and others.

a friend at the office washed his dirty laundry at his sisters. she had one of those machines that wash and dry. once, he told me, his sister was in a hurry, she had to leave and let him do the job. she said something like - i have set the machine, all you have to do is put detergent and the dirty cloths then press play.
he did that and decided to go for a walk around the block. when he got back to take the now clean and dry laundry, he said the whole building had a chemical smell. when he opened the machine his cloths were like plasterboard.
as he stood there wondering what happened, his sister came back and yelled at him "what have you done?! how much detergent have you put inside?"
he said i put it all, why? doesn't this thing know how much detergent it needs?! when i put gasoline in my motorbike i fill it up and the motor takes what it needs...
at first this sounded so crazy and funny to me, but i realized he was right. after 60 years of washing machines, someone must have fixed this.
i remembered all the times a have looked at the machine UI and wondered, why did they marked this function so? why is there a container for detergent marked 1 and 2, but you almost always have to put the soap in 2? if 1 is some special case that is seldomly used, why didn't they marked it 0?

No, no - you want to be the guy doing the minutes!
Remember, the minutes are the official record of what was discussed and what was agreed at the meeting.
And what tasks were given to which attendee.
So the guy who write the minutes effectively has all the power - he can allocate what he wants where and provided it doesn't jibe too badly with general recollections (and most people don't listen to anything in a meeting, they are planning what they want to say) it's what the meeting decided, Joe - so get on with it!
If you do get called out on something, just apologise, say that's what you thought was decided, and you must have written it down wrong ...
Doing the minutes is an excellent way to get out of jobs ...

That's why my boss does the minutes.
And that's how it should be actually.
|
|
|
|
|
That supports my point of view -- "always get/put everything in writing".
What is written overpowers whatever may have been said.
Meetings hinder communication and progress.
Meetings are intended to quash dissent.
Meetings are the tool of the bully.
Don't attend meetings.
|
|
|
|
|
Or, since I am not intimidated and do those things I'm included out of almost every meeting.
If I were tasked with the minutes, I'd just tell everyone - "Relax! I'm going to record you and use that . . ."

But... But... they have donuts.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Even worse.
Bagels, maybe.

No, not, better. Get the garlic ones, keep people away for the rest of the day.
It works, old people tested.
