Are you a chair?

Why, in the interest of political correctness, have we replaced the word "chairman" not with "chairperson" but with simply "chair"? More and more I see people referred to as the "Chair" of this organization or the "Chair" of that function. It seems too concise to me.

However, in the interest of blogging, and under the presumption that the "Chair" is in charge, I offer up this additional suggested terminology to go with chair...

Table - the all knowing wise counsel; the chair is really not useful without the table.
Credenza - George, from Seinfeld.
Mat - the designated punching bag; the one who takes all the abuse.
Napkin - the one who has to clean up after everyone else.

I think you may be on to something here:

Indoor Plant: 20% of the low performing workers who you'll prune by the end of the year.

Secretary: the workhorse

Fax what you better have when the eeoc comes a calling

I just can't figure out this new disease called carpet tunnel syndrome. Is that like a bad rug burn?

Hey, this was supposed to be a draft! A work in progress. What happened? Are you trying to start a fight? You and whose armoire?

I prefer the boys notice the hair on my ass when I beat them in a race. Does that count?

Nathan Kinzel said...

Not really because you don't strike me as the kind of guy that would have any hair at all on his ass.

MrHuge2U said...

Well, I'd like to strike you. . . but afraid I might get my fingers caught in your Johnny Damon mane, you freak.

Nathan Kinzel said...

If you keep up this beligerent behavior I might have to strike this blog.

MrHuge2U said...

Perhaps, we should change the name of the blog to Hairy Blog. Well, strike that thought, you've got a lot of balls to question me!

Nathan Kinzel said...

I think your comments are rather base.

MrHuge2U said...

Stop you whining and pitching! I think you're running a-foul of the law.

Nathan Kinzel said...

That's a fair comment but I don't agree. Perhaps we should take a pole.

MrHuge2U said...

Get outta here! Hey, Hey. Now, you're crossing the line.

Nathan Kinzel said...

Holy Mackerel! There's no doubt about it. I'm on the way.

MrHuge2U said...

I appreciate your patience in my absence. I fully expected you to leave a comment like: He gone!

I think you guys need to table this discussion for your next meeting with the indoor plants and the credenzas.

Fire Extinquisher = Troubleshooter.

I think the overhead projector would be the brightest guy in the room.

I think we need a monitor at the table.
