MA BELL's wit and humor is "legendary". When designing the So. Bell HQ in Ft Lauderdale a number of years back, we were discussing the executive suite for the Head Yayhoo. There was separate dimming for both the fluorescent fixtures, incandescent units, and the wall-washers for lighting the artwork, Kirsch electrically controlled drapes all around, despard lighting switches with panelling-matching walnut wall plates, and yadda-yadda-yadda, etc., etc. It was an el-Primo huge corner office, with associated mini-apartment and posh marbled potty. When we got to the area of the potty, I asked, the pencil-necked, 1"-wide-tie'd, Brooks-Brother'd lackeys - in my most intense and detail-conscious manner - just "..exactly.." where the "..Lord-High-Muckitymuck.." would like me to locate the "...electric condom dispenser...". [..Nobody ever said that I didn't have a sense of humor..] You would have thought that someone in the BORG Collective Consciousness had pulled the modular plug out of the little receptacle in the heal of all their Wingtips...!! They collectively went stone rigid, turned a beautiful shade of Arctic White, and we seriously thought we were going to have to call the paramedics - before they finally started breathing again - on their own...... "...Life is gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood..."!! John :-) ps: My boss at the time, Don Hallmark (..a ruddy-faced, rather rotund Good Ol' Boy/Professional Engineer from AL, who I dearly loved..) had to excuse himself from the meeting and go to the restroom - to avoid busting a gut and blowing the contract.....!! I had to buy him lunch at the Cat's Meow (...ask Metals...) for the next two days - as punishment for my transgression...!! (tee hee)
