A Joke I Didn't Make

A Joke I Didn't Make

Right before I was due to speak at the IM conference, I went to the men's room. On the urinal was written "1.0 GPF" (gallons per flush), but the font for the F was odd so it looked like "1.0 GPL." I decided not to begin my presentation by saying that for a moment I found myself thinking: Cool! An open source toilet!

It's bold decisions such as that that makes me such a sought-after speaker and genial host. That and the fact that I look particularly good in a smoking jacket.
