8:02 p.m. | 2003-04-08 Lunchtime Fun & Relationships. I had lunch today with Boss and Colleague, and as usual, our conversation took an interesting turn. This is that. (Boss:) BossHusband went fishing today but he didn�t go with HisFishingBuddy. He took his boat and went by himself. (CI:) That�s not good boat safety, you know, going fishing by yourself. (Boss:) I know, I hate it when he does that. I always worry. (C:) Do you ever go boating with him? (Boss:) No. I have no desire to be in a small aluminum boat on a big lake. If I�m gonna be on a boat in a huge body of water, it better be a cruise ship on the ocean. (C:) Have you ever gone boating with him? (Boss:) Yeah, I use to. Back in the �80s. We�d go boating with friends and stuff, but I didn�t really like it. One time, we went boating with some friends of ours and StupidGuy was driving all crazy. He was drunk too. I told him to stop driving crazy because he was scaring me, but he didn�t. In fact, when we docked, he poured a beer over my head so I punched him in the face. (C:) You did what? (Boss:) I punched him in the face. He was drunk and pissing me off so I punched him. Then we left him at the bar and he walked all the way home. In a speedo. While I was working today, I came across this sentence. �Any other person related by consanguinity or affinity within the second degree.� It was the phrase �within the second degree� that made me bust up. In all honesty, I�m not really sure what that means or how that would be determined, but for whatever reason, it just cracks me up. And yes, I do realize that I have an odd sense of humor. your thoughts? seed flower
