Long ago, in the before time, I was sitting in a meeting on casual Friday when the guy leading the meeting noticed my socks.
“Hey, those are some fancy socks.”
“Yeah, they were a gift from a friend.”
“What do the words say? Looks like there’s some words there.”
“Oh, nothing. It’s silly.”
“What does it say? I’m curious.”
I pushed my chair back and dropped my foot on the table.
“It says ‘This meeting is bullshit.’”
General laughter, then an awkward silence.
“Well, being that as it may, we should probably move on to item four on the agenda.”
