Things I Learned at the 2007 PLANET Green Industry Conference
Under the category of zoology: That the hind end of a beetle is called a raster.
Under the category of bad jokes said by corporate motivational speakers: That a consultant is "someone who knows 257 ways to make love but doesn't have a girlfriend."
Under the category of coulda, woulda, shoulda: That I should have brought a camera, if for nothing else than to document the sight of a Colonel Sanders impersonator.
Under the category of obvious: That boy howdy, is it ever a good idea to showcase your product in a market that's--let's face it--a total sausage fest, by employing an attractive young lady, frequently with too much makeup. Truth told, it's something I learned at the last one of these I went to three years ago, what with the girls dressed like Peter Pan.
Under the category of future history: That there are worse things to end up, I suppose, than a local comedian hosting a mock-version of The Tonight Show with broadly-obvious-yet-not-unfunny-jokes, interviewing speakers about the Green Care Industry. Like, say, for instance, the guy that has to sit at a booth that showcases gaskets and sparkplugs to whom nobody comes by to talk.
