With so many cell phone towers around these days, calls that break up isn't as frequent as it used to be. I had a conversation that went something like this about a decade ago with a boss ...
Boss: ... run a conflict check *%!# me on the U-*%!# *%!# -iac Fou-*%!# -tion.Then the call was dropped. I'm racking my brains? I'm pretty sure he wanted me to run a conflicts check on some foundation, but which one? I think the first word is "Utah" ... second, [something]-iac ... and the last word I'm sure is "Foundation" ... then what did he say, "you know, the [something]-eeders"? I don't know where my mind was but my best guess was that he had said "Utah Nymphomaniac Foundation? You know, the breeders" .... could there be such a thing?
Me: What was that? You're breaking up on me!
Boss: *%!# conflict *%!# for me on the U-*%!# *%!# -iac Fou-*%!# -tion. You know, the *%!# -eeders!
Turned out he said, "Utah Hemophilia Foundation. You know, the bleeders." Wow! That made quite the difference!
