Was in a corporate training class yesterday. The instructor mentioned earth day. So, me being the politically incorrect, stir stuff up just to do so, kind of guy I was, I asked if the instructor would mind if I shared a bit of trivia about earth day.

She said I could.

So, I mentioned Ira Einhorn, co-founder of earth day, was a murderer who killed his girlfriend and fled to Europe to escape prison, and that earth day was deliberately founded on April 22 to coincide with Vladimir Lenin's 100th birthday. A few folks in class smiled knowingly, others, the hippie types, got flustered looks on their faces.

They can't fire me, though, I'm the only one who knows the code for the payroll system. At least, that's what they've been led to believe. ;-)

...and stuffed her in a suitcase if memory serves.

LOL! Yeah, I used to get enjoyment out of challenging instructors in our corporate training as well. And I DIDN’T have the code to payroll. A common comment after class from co-workers was “Why do you have to be such a smart ass?” Because I could.

Hold on to your leverage.

Can I say to turn on all the lights. That is the statement I’ll make this evening. Every light in the house will be on.
