The pain of office meetings

Years ago I had to go to daily morning meetings to review all the computer programs that ran overnight and talk about any problems that occurred. For my support area most days we had nothing to report but one Monday morning I had to discuss a weekend issue caused by a team member making a mistake. So I went through the problem, what happened and what we did to fix it. The guy running the meeting kept saying "and what else??", so I added everything I could think of about how we had talked about the problem and solution so the other person understood. But still "and what else??". Finally when I'd run out of things I could think of to say about it out popped, "and we're tattooing backwards on her forehead so she sees it every morning when she gets up". Everyone in the meeting, 20 some people, except him and I broke out laughing. He stared for a minute, then moved on. After the meeting he went to my then boss and told him not to send me anymore since I didn't take the process seriously. I still hear about this meeting to this day from those who were there...

Reminds me of the "Dude Where's my Car" scene: https://youtu.be/oqwzuiSy9y0
(Plus some great car eye-candy: Citroen) A great, albeit completely inane, movie. Similar genre as Animal House, etc.
