One of our legal assistants is prone to panic attacks. Last week, she went to see a hypnotist because she heard it might help. Before she went, we joked that the hypnotist might secretly add some extra trigger words so that she would, with certain cues, start acting like a bear or a donkey or a Rockette.
She came back to the office without incident, but the rest of the work day was interrupted by my 42-year old boss randomly shouting words and snickering. "Hey, can you copy this because SMORGASBORD I need it for my deposition tomorrow AQUARIUS. And don't forget that I'll be gone the whole day CORIANDER but will try to return some calls after work hours RED BARON."
He was quiet for a minute while she stared at him and gathered the papers. But he couldn't stop. "Flabbergast! Snorkel! Sassafrass! ORVILLE REDENBACHER!"
Nothing happened. He eventually walked away disappointed, but not before muttering "BOUFFANT" and looking at her expectantly.
It's a wonder we get anything done at this office.
