In passing

I was sitting at work one day dealing with everyday mundane routines, when a coworker, for no other apparent reason than just to break up some silence, piped up with this gem.

"You know what word I like?" She asked. Not waiting for response she went on. "Vagina!" It was triumphant in it's delivery. "You say it and people get easily shocked and don't know how to react!"

To see her, you wouldn't surmise she thought like this. Ethereal, blonde, tall and slender. An angel who spends her time gracing the rest of us grunting, single browed cretins who wander the earth in search of something greater, with her presence. Fantastically sweet and seemingly innocent, she is at the same time sarcastic, witty and ultimately charming.

And she cracks me up.

I lost my original Angel of humor when she wisely (albeit heartbreakingly) left me without a cubicle mate. She will be remembered most fondly!

It is true, you say the word Vagina and people do tend to react oddly. Wouldn't you?


I have a distraction until I leave. I will survive it.


The cheese stands alone.
