Notes from the staff meeting

[camwyn]

We're having a grand opening ceremony for our shiny new donated building next Monday, with the president of the Red Cross there, and the lone man who donated all the $$ to get this place built, and everything. Part of the opening is going to involve the presentation of flags and patriotic music and such.

Last week we had a gala fundraiser at which God Bless America was sung.

Today, in discussing the grand opening, this dialogue took place:

CHAPTER CEO: ... and a flag that flew over the US Capitol building. And then- those of you who went to the Gala will remember Mr. Anderson's stirring rendition of God Bless America. He'll be singing-
CHAPTER EMPLOYEE #1: It wasn't Mr. Anderson, was it?
CHAPTER EMPLOYEE #2: I don't think it was. . .
CHAPTER CEO: Hmm. You're right. Mr. Anderson was the bagpipes, I'm sorry. Mr. Smith did the singing. Anyway, Mr. Smith will be singing something in that vein. . .

I don't know which is a freakier image: Agent Elrond belting out "God Bless America", or Keanu Reeves on the bagpipes.

"Mr. Anderson. This meeting has two paths. In one, you leave, and go back to your pleasant if boring life. In the other... you play the bagpipes."

"Whoa."
