not that kind of meeting

jim and i have an interesting department. he created the testing department from nothing -- asinine, inc. never thought quality assurance was worth a separate department until after they started releasing horribly broken software. i started testing about a year after jim did. there is no grizzled qa vet to mentor us in the ways of excellence, so we just kind of figure things out as we go.

one week, we found a number of awesome articles at cio.com, including an audio presentation called (something like) '27 ways to improve your testing'. we went into the conference room and gave it a listen. the narrator of the piece was female.

after about 20 minutes, the old man pokes his head in and says:
'i heard a woman's voice in here and thought you guys were looking at pornos! i was going to join you.'

awkward laughter and jim and i kind of look at each other. 'did he really just say that?' jim said, once the old man was gone.

naturally we told a few people about it, and it became a running joke for us.

then, about a year later, the old man made the same joke twice within the span of a week. perhaps it's his only joke?
