These were the pleasantries exchanged after some political email sent to me from a former colleague:
Nat: A sicko might suggest he was really just saying, “goodbye.”
Me: Nat Nat Nat....Statements like that should be left unsaid.
Nat: I’m not so sure......
Me: Well then I hate to say it, but you are the damn sicko then.
Nat: ....sometimes....
Me: Don’t you have something to triangulate...
Nat: Lidar, I process Lidar, now. And, yes, I actually have a meeting to go to. :) Don’t you have some GIS-ing to do?
Me: NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!
Nat: ooooh, you’re a feisty one....hey, you’ll get a kick out of this.....my wife is going to sell, well, er, um - “sex toys.” Its a long story, but basically she told me, “I think this would be a lot of fun, everyone I talk to who’s done it, or been to a party says they are a lot of fun.” Normally she wouldn’t be this brave, so I said, “cool, do it.” Now I have a house full of lotions and sprays and hardware. Very weird. Actually, this company is more about the lotions and sprays, and a little less about the hardware - they refer to themselves as a “romance company” or something like that. So now she’s going to be having these parties selling this stuff. How do I explain this to my children exactly? :)
Me: My opinion...they don’t need to know. How do you know how long this selling sex stuff endeavor will last anyways. Your children are still so young, they do not need to be introduced to that sort of thing yet. I would make sure they weren’t around it, saw it, or heard it. That is a skewed way of learning about sex also.
Nat: yeah, we aren’t going to tell them anything....I was just be silly.....more to the point, how do I tell my Mother!?!? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh....
Me: Ask her if she wants the Newly Enhanced 2500XL Long-Dong Vibrator in Mottled Beige at the discount price.
Nat: ...I should have known...you know a little too much...hehe
Me: Now I was kidding...
Nat: that’s a great name, though, maybe you’re in the wrong line of work....
Me: I am no hoe Natman!
Nat: no, no, no, the “hoe’s” don’t use or design or NAME hardware, silly. That is what I was saying, maybe you need to start coming up with names for this stuff, you know, marketing for the smut peddlers.....
Me: I gotcha, no worries. That could end up kinda fun. Like there could be the St. Patty’s Day dildo that was green and named the The Lucky Charm...
Nat: SEE!?!? You just popped off two in 5 minutes....the second being hysterically possible, the first being hysterically over-the-top. That’s too scary. I’m stealing your idea, by the way. Too bad.......
So we stopped bickering and some how turned it into something sexual. Nice.
I had a splendid lunch with Leanne today. Great chit-chat for oh, um, 2 hours. Not concerned though. All the big cheeses are out of the office for the rest of the day, all the engineers are in some staff meeting, and the other GISer is off today. WooWOOO!
