I was at my client's site yesterday, and she was taking me around during lunchtime. One of her coworkers, a friend, came up to her and asked, "Where is the weight watcher's meeting?" My client walked her over to the room where the meeting was being held (she was a member herself). The meeting hadn't yet started so people were standing around outside the room.

There were glass doors in front of us looking out on a small lobby. In the lobby we could see three heavy set women who looked like they were lost. My client's friend told my client, "Hey, they must be looking for the meeting." "Yeah, let me tell them where it is," replied my client.

We walked out of the glass doors and my client asked the women, "Excuse me, are you looking for the weight watchers meeting?"

One of the women then glared and said, "No, we're looking for the HR Benefits meeting."

"Oh," said my client, "um, it's in room 140."

As they were walking away they were mumbling to each other, "Ha, I know I'm a big woman but I don't need no weight watchers!" "Thinkin' we're looking for weight watchers. Hmph!"

I had to try really hard not to crack up. Actually, I did once they went away. My client was so embarrassed that she thought they were looking for the meeting!
