I couldn't do this now, but it was funny in 1984:
I worked at Boeing and I was in a conference room of about 8 workmates waiting for a guy to show up at the meeting. We were five minutes late and you could look out the window (we were three stories up) and see him walking into the building.
Anyway, there was this middle aged "man-hater" type lesbian on the team, complete with 'I support the ERA' bumper sticker on her hatchback, and we all sort of discussed whether we should start or wait for him. She wanted to start and I wanted to wait.
Very little debate happened and I just said, "we'll wait for him." S
She sait to me, "why should you decide."
I said, "Because I am the man."
Ah, the good old days, when men were men, without the fear of the nanny state. 'Come to think of it, I still don't have that fear.
Oh, it got some good laughs, but people were already learning to sound "nervous" about some things. Not me, not yet.
I wouldn't try that in one of my meetings....
