Ruined by "Testicular Virility"
So, it is done. Not only were Laura, Christine and I on TV last night, we were on multiple times! And now, we're on the worldwide web. So, here's what happened...
Yesterday, Laura (L), Christine (C) and I went out to lunch at Grand Lux, to celebrate Laura's news. No one else know about her "news," so the three of us had some team/girl bonding time. After lunch, we took a leisure stroll down the Magnificent Mile, shopping for Christine's mom's birthday gift. On our way back to the office, we passed by the NBC towers. Some reporter looking guy approached us and asked if we were from Illinois and if so, could he ask us a couple of questions. He then proceeded to ask us if we had heard about what the governor said, and what it meant to us. First of all, I don't even know who the governor is much less pronounce his name. And I don't watch the news, neither do Christine & Laura. So, Mr. Reporter Guy told us that the governor had said something about his "testicular virility" and asked us what we thought it meant. Since we're all very funny people, we came up with some CLEVER replies to his question even though we don't really know what those two words mean together. Christine said something like "it means he has a lot of sex drive." Then the reporter turns to me, but I told him that I'm not from Illinois! L & C protested and told him that I'm totally from IL. (Whatever.) So he asked me the same question, I said (thinking that I'm SO FUNNY and that none of this would actually EVER make it on air) "does it mean he has lots of testicles?" Lastly he turned to L, who actually gave a really good answer. I can't repeat exactly what she said, but it was something about a male reproductive organ and if you've got one of those, that means you're really smart. Then he asked us what we thought about it, L & I both said something about it not being appropriate, and C said "yeah, are we reverting back to the Bill Clinton days?"
So we left there thinking that there's NO WAY they were air our comments because we were so stupid. We were more worried about it popping up on Jay Leno's "Jaywalk Allstars." Then 4:30 rolls around, C's mother-in-law calls her to tell her that she's on TV. Then we all started panicking. But I really wasn't worried, because are they really going to air me saying "testicles" on television?
This morning I get in, a multitude of people email me and tell me how they saw me on the 10 o'clock news. Then after I come back from lunch, my assistant shows me the NBC5 Website...Sure enough, we're now a streaming video. (http://www.nbc5.com/politics/4505391/detail.html click on video or images) And then, my BOSS made a powerpoint slide of all the images from the site along with our comments; my assistant proceeded to post them outside our cubicle walls.
This has been a very "snappy" day.
For the record, we were JOKING!!!!!!!
