How not to impress your boss

[mapsedge]

It's no secret I'm not a sports nut.  I follow football only on Sunday afternoons because it makes me feel nostalgic, but that's about it. However, let me assure you that  I pay attention to the news and have a fair idea of what's going on generally in the sports world.

CFO shows up to work to day in a black and gold polo with a tiger at the breast, and a gold baseball cap with a tiger on the front. While waiting for my breakfast burrito to heat up, I glance in his office. "Wow," I say, "Couldn't help but notice your amazingly collegiate wardrobe today."

He takes a few moments to process all of the three-syllable-plus words and figure out what they mean, and says, "Yeah, alumni's playing today."

"Well," I say, preparing to retreat to my office, "I hope they get lots of runs."

Hah!

I bet someone on their team gets struck out at some point. Or they make a hole-in-one. Or score under par. Or something like that.

What sports season is it again? It's not already time for the Kentucky Derby, is it?

Having just printed out a team bracket for Rob and asked "so why does one want a bracket in the first place", to which he replied "just to see if I'm right about who'll win", I will never catch on to the appeal.

It's more fun watching his reaction to a missed basket than anything else. :D
