Uh...dude, I don't wanna know

PJ's already got the perfect name for his yet to be born blog: PJ's Shower Thoughts.

A group of us Borangers have been holed up in a war room in Bellevue working on a major product launch for the past 6-8 weeks. Maybe it's the people, or simply the nature of overworked, over-pressured groups, but our morning status meetings often break out into giddy laughfests. Today, PJ provided the primer for our daily crack-up.

Ten of us are sitting around an oval conference table just before the start of the daily debriefing. Most are checking or writing email, some are sipping coffee and staring at the status board. PJ, who's conversational style can best be described as matter-of-fact, "I wonder how tall the corn's gonna grow this year..." catches my eye and says:

"DL, you know what I thought of in the shower today?..."

Before he could get another word out, the room exploded in laughter! It was one of those priceless moments when there was a millisecond pause between the time the last syllable left PJ's mouth and the group's simultaneous cognition of his faux pas. Boy, did we let him have it:

"Too much information!"
"Shower thoughts?"
"No need to share bro"
"Uh...dude, I don't wanna know."
"Let's keep this clean here..."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Man, I have to tell you, laughing until your eyes tear up isn't a bad way to start a work day.
