The Meeting Ender

Posted 11.13.2006 by Anomalous Coward (690)
I was in another inane meeting. Time had stopped.

Every other month, our department is subjected to a "brainstorming session." Theoretically, this gives everyone an opportunity to bounce new ideas around. But that theory actually died out with the dinosaurs. Contemporary brainstorming sessions are just used by AYMLAKs (Aggressive Young Midlevel Ass-Kissers) to grandstand in front of our senior manager.

The featured AYMLAK of the day was busily embarrassing himself -- though he remained oblivious to the fact -- by citing bullshit statistics to make an invalid point about an irrelevant topic. After the first twenty minutes or so, my attention had wandered. I had noted food stains on another AYMLAK's tie and an amusing booger hanging halfway out a dozing upper level manager's schnozz. Next to me on the left was seated a man I'll call George.

George had been with the company since time immemorial. He usually sat as impassive and immovable as the granite faces on Mt. Rushmore, wearing a thoughtful expression. While most people took this to be dignity and gravitas, the truth was that George was usually stoned out of his mind from the cough syrup he consumed in monumental quantities. But he never coughed; I suspect he imbibed to prevent a cough from sneaking up on him.

Suddenly, with no prior warning, my mind was snatched away from contemplation of the booger by a harsh growl to my left. At first I thought someone had released a rabid Doberman in the room; but it had actually come from George.

Under ordinary circumstances, George could sit with the best of them. But today he was buttdancing all over in his chair. His forehead was beaded with sweat and his mouth drawn into a tight line. Another loud growling gurgle emanated from his sizeable belly. Seeing George fidget in his seat was a novelty, and way more worthy of my attention than the booger. Intuition told me that ol' George was about to have an abdominal event of epic proportions.

I slowly pushed my seat back away from him.

A fart that sounded like a cross between a partially-occluded air horn and the grunt of a raped ape escaped his backdoor. The still yammering AYMLAK stopped in mid-babble. The room was as silent as a deserted library.

A smell permeated the room. It had a heady bouquet to it, sort of like rotten meat mixed with skunk and marinated in liquid pigshit. Booger across the table sat bolt upright. In the uncomfortable silence, every eye was upon George.

George was positively vibrating in the chair trying -- alas! in vain -- to stifle another blast from the trumpet that was sounding a desperate retreat. It screeched out of him like the cry of an enraged banshee.

"I... ummm... seem to need... ummm... to go to..."

With a grimace, another loud fart followed on the heels of some major gut gurgles. George lurched toward the door.

George had provided an act that was impossible to follow. The room stank, the suits were looking queasy, and the rest of us were way too amused to sit still and discuss anything other than George.

Later, George stopped by his office to grab his briefcase. His jacket was tied about his waist and he looked pale as a ghost. He beat a hasty retreat to the elevator.

One of the guys said later that he never made it to the crapper before his gray slacks took on a brownish stain in the stern.

All things considered, that was probably the most productive meeting I've ever been to.

Lame comment!

Jesus - you're a real asshole. Glad I don't work with you.

Good for George. Now you know how to stop cold any meeting.

Human Resources:" George,why did you leave your last job? George:" I farted in a meeting,made everyone in the room puke and I ran to the men's room but I crapped in my pants."Human Resources:"Thank you,we will get back to you."Honestly,I don't know why people would rather shit in their pants instead of excusing themselves.

Great story. I used to work in an office, I can only imagine what went on in that meeting.

Sound more like George was butt storming, rather than brain storming.

Poor George. I bet he had to take a job at a call center.

ChiknGreez (52) -- 11.13.2006

It's always a pleasure to see the stone-faced "Frozen Chosen" break composure at work, even better when they can develop an inescapable rapport for shitting themselves! Bravo!

PooperGal (527) -- 11.14.2006

You painted a compelling portrait of human pathos in rich shades of brown (and gusts of methane), AC. I had always hated those stupid-ass "brainstorm" sessions in my previous job. Our mediocre -- but obscenely overpaid -- marketing VP would only call a meeting in order to steal our ideas and take the credit. If only he had had an abominable abdominal outburst like ol' George. Office life is seldom fair or just.

But a girl can dream. Thanks for the tale.

Why can't you just excuse yourself when you have to go? Especially if some idiot is yammering on and on, one would think it'd be OK to take a crap.

this is simmilar to one of the first stories i post in which i let out the worst beer fart ever in class. the class would have ended had it not been structured, that's what made it worse.

daphne (3680) -- 11.14.2006

Please explain a "beer fart". I'm curious against my better judgement.

Nice one AC - I wish I`d been there to see George`s performance. Those ass-licking, career ladder climbing types need bringing down to size from time to time.

Fudgepump (366) -- 11.14.2006

Dignity and gravitas dashed in an instant, replaced by foul eruptions and puddin' pants. Poor George; maybe the cough syrup stifled his reaction time.

Anomalous Coward (690) -- 11.14.2006

Daphne - "Why can't you just excuse yourself when you have to go?"
To be perfectly honest, I think it came on ol' George all at once. He was more interested in preserving his image as some sort of imperturbable lump than avoiding sitting in lumps. Some times I think these guys buy into their own image more than anyone else does. Fudgepump, I love the "puddin' pants" thing - too funny.

Man, nothing cool like that ever happens here. Then again, we don't have meetings that are long and boring either. It's pretty cool though, working in a lab....if you fart, you can blame it on the bacteria culture smell. They REEK...they usually smell like a combination of wet basement and dog crap.
And yeah, we can jet off to the john whenever we want to, so no real danger of pants-pooping here.

Good story Anomalous. One question, could the cough medicine been the reason why he pooped himself?

Anomalous Coward (690) -- 11.15.2006

ghostlight - Beats me. He hits the old Nyquil alot. I've read stories on here about alcohol being related to gastrointestinal disturbances, but I honestly have no clue. Motherload...?

Cyanocobalamin (57) -- 11.15.2006

Pseudoephedrine is/was the active drug in Nyquil, and it is has a similar structure to amphetamines, which are stimulants....so I could see a possibility of speeding things up along in the intestines but I've never heard about that as a side effect.
Opioids, on the other hand, stop things up bigtime as many of you know. (eg morphine, heroin)

Gas at work can be pretty embarassing. I once had gas on a long business road trip. I was really afraid someone in the crowded car was going to notice. I have good volume control, and they didn't smell like much, so maybe I got away with it.

Anal About Poop (240) -- 11.16.2006

Anonymous, there is nothing wrong with us. Well, I take that back there is some ramped IBS and constipation going on, but other then that we just believe in one simple premise. Poop is funny!

i certainly wouldnt call this joker the bell of that ball (hopefully we can all say we know how that feels) in recent memory. take it or leave it this is probably one of the best thigns that has happen to anyone ever. inlcuding george costas and johnboy p. jenkesnhip. i am alarmed at how anyone could sit there and not realize everythign was about to hapen. o well. i guess beter luck next time!! om3.

PooperGal (527) -- 11.16.2006

Carolina B,
Maybe you just THINK that they "don't smell like much." Remember the story about the guy who was amazed to discover that his farts not only didn't stink, but that they didn't make any noise either. So he cut loose and enjoyed breaking wind through an entire church service.

Then, at his doctor appointment the next day, he found out that his sense of smell was temporarily out of whack because of a sinus condition, and his hearing aid battery had gone dead.

PG,
While your point is apt as well as humerous, when I have stinky farts, I would have to be really congested not to smell them. When I've got noticable farts they are usually very stinky. They are like Romeo and Juliet; they'll bring tears to your eyes. I was also riding with some young rather shameless guys, so they would have heckled my gastric acrobatics had they noticed. I was primarily concerned for the one lady in the car.

PS I altered my user name a bit for clarity

"He hits the old Nyquil alot" Ah, yes, Nyquil - the sniffing, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head, fever, so you can sit like a corpse through a meeting, medicine, that incidentally made old George shit his pants. I'll never look at Nyquil without thinking about George again.

this reminds me of my last job, doing development/tech support. This tremendously obese woman sat across the aisle from me. One day I noticed all of the sudden that the air smelled like fresh, steaming, farts. I commented a few times about how bad it smelled.

After a few minutes, the coworker picks up and leaves for the day. Pretty certain that the coworker had pooped her panties, as obese people are prone to do.

HILARIOUS. You got me howling with laughter. Didn't expect less from good ole AC. Good job, as always.
