I Work in the South
Recently, I was reading the minutes of a committee meeting that I had missed. I am sorry that I missed this one; it was a good one. Lots of important decisions were made.
Decision #1: There will be no more prayer before meetings. The committee actually had to vote three times on this one to finalize it. Motions have been made to have a moment of silence. Apparently, some people are offended by beginning a meeting with a prayer. I don't understand this; I pray all the way through meetings. I pray that I can stay awake. I pray that they will serve me lunch. I pray that no one will expect me to give my report. I pray that the fire alarm will sound. I plan to continue this kind of prayer until I see some new bylaws.
Decision #2: There cannot be alcohol and guns at any meeting. From now on, there can be only alcohol or only guns. Not both. I am not making this up. If there is to be drinking (always makes the meeting more enjoyable), committee members are to leave all firearms at home. If the meeting calls for gunslinging (and really, what meeting doesn't?), there will be no alcohol served. I know that this poses a dilemma for several committee members. If I had been in attendance, I would have stood up and offered the following suggestion.
Mist 1: Hey, I know what let's do. Y'all listen up. I'm gonna put a tape line down the middle of this here floor. If'n you have a gun, stay over on this here side of the tape. If'n you plan on drinkin', stay on yonder side of the tape.
Committee Members: Much groaning and booing in unison.

Mist...I'm with you on the prayer thing....as for the guns and alcohol part of the resolutions from the last meeting...ummmm...nope got nothin'.
Have a great day!!
What exactly type of work do you do? I'm going to guess either a law firm or some type of manufacturing company.
HA HA HA funny stuff. I say put the tape down the middle...say a quick prayer and holler "go" as you walk out the door. When you come back in, whoever is still standing gets the floor. If nothing else it would make those damn long boring meetings a little more interesting.
god love their hearts.
and they're probably good people. good people discussing silly things that is.
can i pray as i bring guns and booze into the next meeting, or will that cause too much confusion?
mr. g,
It's like a system of checks and balances. Eventually, between the guns, alcohol and prayer, we get stuff done.
avitable,
I blog. I wish I could blog from home everyday.
meg,
We are hiring. We could use someone with ideas like yours.
anastasia,
I am handsomely paid for my great ideas.
pup,
Great people. Love 'em. Gotta wear that flak vest.
Your sense of humour is great. I bookmarked you yesterday. I will look forward to your blogging.
k,
You can be committee chair. That's what I like about you. Question authority!
Schell,
Thanks for dropping by. For some reason I feel like being "bookmarked" should be dirty. Hey baby, how'd you like to get bookmarked?
I don't do well with guns. I pray all the time. Should I go to the right or the left?
Did you get my post?....my wireless dropped me. It was good ...mever to be repeated again....omg I love blog drunking!
o f! you've got that crappy comment moderation on! Love you!
Friends don't let friends shoot drunk.
icl,
Blog drunking? I'm dying over here.
kuri,
These aren't my friends; they're my colleagues.
nerd,
C'mon, let's us go to a meetin'.
So, no guns & alcohol together. Did they mention anything about strippers?
darlene,
Strippers are okay. Some of the committee members are married to strippers...I mean personal trainers.
LOL
Ohhh SNAP! Personal Trainers are Strippers. Now there's a fun comment to whisper at the gym.
Thank you for this hilarious insight into another culture.
mouse,
The gym? I drove by one of those once.
veronica,
My college education does not go to waste.
