I love to work with funny people. Patti Purcell, our COO, outdid herself yesterday at the MTLC unConference. Here’s the scene:
Venture Capitalist, with British accent, casually meeting Patti for the first time:
So what do you do?
Patti starts to answer him, but the man immediately begins scanning the room, not listening to a word she says.
Patti changes tack and says,
Basically I spend most of the day plucking eyeballs off of baby dolls.
Mr. VC nodded vaguely, and wandered off. A nearby bystander said,
What did you just say??
I, myself, FOMCALMAO. (Google it.)



So, Patti, are those the eyeballs with the lids that close when the cute little baby doll lies down to sleep? As I recall, they are pretty well embedded in the head, so you must be fairly exhausted by the end of the day. You should start a blog about it, I’m certain I have never seen one about that job….
Patti made me smile for two day’s straight last summer with a single comment.
Two words: Nature’s Broom.
Oh, hee, hee.
