I was in the middle of a meeting. I’d been there for 2 hours and we still had two more to go. I was losing my mind, and I was beginning to feel the pain of living without a father. I was really on the verge of a panic attack. I stood up and asked if I could share a story with my co-workers.
“Don’t make us go crazy with boredom,” pleaded a top executive, as he chewed his Kit-Kat.
“I won’t. I just want to point out something extremely alarming. Something that I think you should know about- all of you.” I paused for dramatic purposes. I let the room sink into hot warm feelings as I got on my butt and laughed at the wall like it was Charlie Chaplin. I rolled around and let my hair out of its helmet.
“Hurry up!” Ordered my boss who was now seventeen inches from turning off my hot water. I knew that he would do as his mother told him. He was a fine capitalist- a real American entrepreneur and there ain't a goddamn thing wrong with that, ya feel me?
Anyways, I stood up, wiped my mouth with my sleeve, and carried on with my presentation. “I just want to say that I'm on the verge of throwing myself out this window,'' I explained patiently, pointing towards the glass. “I’m like some lunatic with hands for feet and feet for hands! Who’s with me!”
A man in the back roared with approval and stood up faster than a rocket as he tossed his lunch to the floor.
“THAT’S more like it,” I whispered, sniffing my fingers as I nodded with pride.
