This Sucks

One of my clients is an organization whose name is also a common slang term for "penis".

Let's pretend it's Schlong.

As you know, I have a dirty mind and an even dirtier mouth. It is therefore virtually impossible for me to have a professional, dignified conversation about this client without injecting some sort of innuendo or inappropriate reference to the body part.

"We have to look out for Schlong's best interest."

"We don't simply want customers to see Schlong. We want them to feel it."

"Man, this is a tight deadline. Can you get in touch with Schlong today and see if we can squeeze an extra day out of them?"

If I were a betting man, I'd bet the house on me getting fired over this client.

At my previous office the movers we hired were called something similar to your client. The most funny thing in the world was to see those big moving trucks with the word plastered on the side. Some of the girls in the office (myself included) would ask the movers to see Mr Schlong in person.

My best friend happens to be my co-worker. We had a task to perform that we do differently than all of our other co-workers, where we push this machine behind us, instead of in front of us. It seems easier... With that in mind, I walked up to help her and this man and his daughter were not far from us. I said, as I was walking toward her, rather loudly, "Do you want to do it from behind?"

As soon as I said it, I realized how that sounded. Oh my. So far I haven't been able to live it down.

C'mon Danny. Write something new. You promised to write more if we read more... Let's see the material! What do you say?
