St. Patrick's Day
I was visiting one of my companies' offices in New York. Someone had left a box in the break room containing a few heads of cabbage and pile of potatoes first thing in the morning, so when everyone showed up for the meeting (and was getting coffee and a donut), the general joke was that it was hard to choose what to grab for breakfast: donut or cabbage. Further humor was mined from comments relating to the drive home that night, and who was riding with whom based on cabbage intake. It was all in good humor ‘till we began to break up and we made plans to head back. One of the guys grabbed a head of cabbage and some potatoes to take home – and pretty soon it was like Filenes’ Basement, only with cabbage and engineers rather than dresses and New Yorkers.
I’m still trying to get the image out of my mind…
