AT A BUILDING IN AMERICA
*****************************
*He bursts into an important meeting, drunk*
'Peapods... heh.. people. I have an idea,' slurred the man.
*sighs and mumbles can be heard around the meeting*
'What would it be this time,' a seated man asked.
As he moved towards the front of the room, his meandering foot caught an chair leg, falling to the ground he fell unconscious. Everyone else in the meeting laughed a little, then carried on with the meeting as per usual.
'Thats the fourth time today he has blacked out on us'
'Yeah, some people...'
'Lets hope its the last "idea" he has!' laughed another.
[23 minutes past, the meeting was near the end]
'pssst, he is getting up' a women speaker whispered.
'Damn!'
The man, still very laughable got to his feet, with the help and cooperation of both legs. He didn't even look as if he remembered falling, he continued on his way to the far end...
'Excuse me, is this the same idea?'
He paused for a moment, swaying back and forth he mumbled, 'yeap,'
He looked around for a few seconds, then asked,
'Does anyone have a green thingyboard marker?'
Everyone seemed to search in the room, then while the mans back was turned, another spokesmen threw a green marker pen at the mans head.
'Oww... ohhh look, there is one on the floor'
He didnt bother asking for a ruler, although with what he was about to draw you could say he really needed one. Sticking his tongue out, and looking very concentated he drew a strange green coloud shape on the board.
'Yeapo,*hiccup* that'll do'
Everyone began to look at each other, all with the same thought as to what the hell this man was doing!
He then moved about two feet from that strange cloud, and drew a diagonal green line, then followed by a second diagonal green line hitting the first through the centre.
'Nice, a cloud and a letter "X"'
'Yes, that is what*hiccup* it looks like isn't it, heh, even better, thanks'
'...if you don't mind me asking, what is it?' I asked.
'Are you stupid!?'
Silence fell across the meeting room, the man, little over five foot and with glasses wrote something above the cloud shaped figure.... infact, it seemed to connect the two images up.
Again I asked what is was,
'I am still intriqued as to what it is'
Everyone turned to look at me, and they waved. With that the man at the white board fired me,
'Get out, you are fired, don't ever question my *burp* ideas'
I looked at him, through his red, hot and horrible four eyed face,
'Bill! Please this is the only job I have.. please...'
He threw the marker at me, as I left I looked back through into the same room, he had drawn a smaller X on the cloud now, in the same green marker.... I still had no idea.
*****************************
AT ANOTHER BUILDING.
*****************************
'What shall we call it then?' the first man said.
'Who cares, it will sell.' Replied another.
'How about just the original name, with a number '2' next to it'
'Genius. Pure genius'
They then called in the five year old main house designer.
'Look kid, we want a logo which is alike the original, with the number '2' next to it'
*****************************
AT ANOTHER BUILDING.
*****************************
He played for hours, he had had the toy for years, but somehow the originality of it just kept him playing.
His office phone ran, he shuffled his artwork aside, and answered it,
'Hello?'
'Development want to talk to you sir'
'Ahh.. put em through'
...
'Hi, boss, we are having a few problems with the design of the machine... do you have any ideas?'
He thought for many minutes, the man on the other end strangely waited, obviously this was a normal thing to do for his boss. Looking at his artwork, he remembered.
'Heh.. I know now, hang on one sec'
He held up the rubics cube.
'I am holding the shape of the console. in my hands'
'Ok, boss, when is your office free?'
'Come have a look now. You know the door, yeah?'
'Yes boss, the one with the golden letters "S.M".'
