How come everything today has involved things either coming in or going out of my ass?

Scene: A follow-up training session on negotiation skills, the main topic of conversation is avoiding the word “but” (instead of saying things like, “I agree we need to change the budget, but...” we should say “I agree we need to change the budget; how can we find a good solution?”). The team has been brainstorming ways to keep the “but” out of conversation. ZH leads the charge.

BW, to facilitator: I think you’ve done a great job of lighting the torch of inspiration here, and I also think ZH has agreed to carry the “but flame” forward.

ZH: Hey, that’s sexual harassment!

(Room laughs)

Facilitator: Wait, what’s sexual about that?

(Room laughs harder)
