The “RC” Stands For “Really Cool”
Many years ago, when I am still in my single digits, I get a small RC helicopter for Christmas from Santa Claus. Unbeknownst to me, my dad bought it mostly for himself; he just slapped my name on it to avoid my mom’s disapproval.
On his first day back to work after his Christmas vacation time, he brings the mini copter with him. My dad works in an office with cubicles so there’s plenty of open air for him to mess with, and he and his coworkers are having a blast with the thing, when, suddenly…
Boss: “WHOSE TOY IS THAT?”
Dad: “Uh, mine?”
My dad has been sitting down the entire time so he didn’t notice when his boss walked in, and [Boss] couldn’t see who had the remote.
Boss: “[DAD], IS THAT YOU?”
Dad: “Yes, sir!”
Boss: “CAN I PLAY WITH IT? PLEASE?”
Needless to say, not much work got done that day! And my dad’s boss kindly asked him to never bring the copter in again.
