***OFF TOPIC****

Two quick SSB stories -In the bathroom 2 urinals stalls over from a guy who is on a cell phone getting quotes -
Time 10:15. So I ask him if he could ask about Ancor- He says 78 and I had no idea as Alan and I had been listening to Brocade all morning. Well my pants stayed dry but now I'm supposed to meet Alan at Emulex which has just started and I can't tell him because emulex is talking so I write ANCR 78 on his pad - I whisper "I'm going to find out why -BRB." I thought he was about to go to piss in his pants and next thing I know, Alans out in the hall unable to listen to EMLX-
I think he went to call his wife - It was a good Ancor moment.

Talking about Ancor with some fund manager and some guy overhears us and starts yucking it up with us. Fund manager leaves and Alan comes back from his phone call and this other guy still yucking it up "You guys have scars on your back from owning Ancor so long" Well congrats now. Meanwhile we are still trying to find out about why Ancor is 78(we are the only 2 people out of 500 that hasn't a clue apparently). After 10 minutes he says -Didn't I mention Ancor and INTEL- We both said NO and look at him like huh!!! as Ken and Steve walk right for this guy and shake his hand and the guy introduces us to Ken and Steve like he knows us his whole life and all of a sudden we're all on first name basis and got to chat with them about Intel and other Ancor stuff for 15 minutes.

I warned you it was OT
