Saying "Condom" in a Meeting

Well, not to over introduce our topic for today, but as you may have guessed, I was in a meeting today. This was a sort of meeting of the minds between marketing and the conference development team. Everything seemed to be going swimmingly; the President talked about the history of marketing at the company, the marketing team told us what their roles were, and then we were invited to just shout out ideas for ways to work together to meet our corporate goals. We were not invited to shout out different types of contraceptives, but I wasn't listening closely enough. At one point I offered a data sharing scenario, where if I'm talking to a conference speaker and they make a random comment about our competitors, we should share that with those people doing research on our competitors. Alas, what type of word comes out when you try to put random and comment together. That's right, I suggested that we capture random condoms to the marketing team, my fellow Conference Directors, and our President.

Naturally, this was the highlight of the meeting, and for the next 45 minutes I was thrown into a giggle loop, where I just tried not to burst out laughing every time I remembered I'd said condom in our meeting. Sonofa! After the meeting, though, I was thanked by several colleagues, and it was said that my saying "condom" was the best part of the meeting. My job here is done.
