Meeting Organizer: "Did you just say, 'dumbbeat'?"
Vicky: "No. I said, 'drumbeat'."
Meeting Organizer: "You did? Because it sounded a lot like you said, 'dumbbeat'."
Vicky: ". . . okay. I said, 'dumbbeat'"
Meeting Organizer: "Do you think these meetings are dumb?"
Me: SNORT, GIGGLE.
Others: GIGGLES
Me: "Dumbbeat. That's hilarious. I will call all of my meetings dumbbeats from now on."
Meeting Organizer: [slightly huffy] "Well, let's get started."
