When I hear it I always imagine massage circles and other horrid reasons that I might have to actually touch my co-workers- and I know all the men on 5th floor who don't wash their hands.

It would take years of therapy to erase the image, and I don't have that kind of time so I just repress and deny, repress and deny.<BR/><BR/>More bad pairings:<BR/>Volunteer Coordinator<BR/>Parent Liaison<BR/>Program Management<BR/>Team Building Retreat - excellent choice CM, that one is particularly hair-raising.<BR/>Imagineering<BR/>Soccer Mom - who's dumb idea was it to stereotype and label all the Mom's????Mnmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004472091756966173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710082318921030407.post-75977601112684230012008-02-06T12:17:00.000-06:002008-02-06T12:17:00.000-06:00"Committee Meeting","Goals and Assessments", "Team..."Committee Meeting","Goals and Assessments", "Team Building Retreat", "New paradigm" or "It's a win-win situation", "Fathers for Life" (yeah right) "Promise Keepers" (okay, who would marry a guy who has to attend a rally in a football stadium filled with other insecure men just to publicly state that they won't cheat on their spouse and that they'll be a good daddy.) <BR/><BR/>Those are a few of mine, but they don't even begin to compare to the Clown Ministry pictured in your blog! It did make me irp up a bit just thinking about it. When I was visiting back home from college one weekend, I attended church with mom. The local Methodist "hip" minister (who also by the way was born with only one arm) dressed up as clown and did his entire sermon in the get-up, including a very long piece in MIME! This ruined it for me for good. I'm permanently scarred and to this day have very bad dreams about that Sunday morning! Happy to be from Iowa, do you remember that one?Cheesecake Mavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051198916826044812noreply@blogger.com
