So after my post about F/M/K I played a few games with friends.
The problem: I didn’t know my friends as well as I thought because their replies were…um…
Example one:
Me: “OK, F/M/K: Ghandi, Mother Teresa, Idi Amin”
Not-Me: “Can I kill them all?”
Me: “I changed my mind. We aren’t playing this. Let’s drink.”
Example two:
Me: “OK, F/M/K: Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed”
Not-Me: “I don’t believe in marriage. Can I F two of them at once?”
Me: “I changed my mind. We aren’t playing this. Let’s drink.”
Example three:
Me: “OK, F/M/K: Robert Plant, Robert Smith, Robert Dylan”
Not-Me: “Who?”
Me: “I changed my mind. We aren’t playing this. Let’s drink.”
I found an old chat log that was created a few years ago. It was called Budgeting IM – Key Budget Factors and had several hundred lines regarding serious business matters. It was hiding this wonderful diversion, nestled between discussion of depreciation, appropriate estimating procedures, and other gripping material.
The lesson: Budgeting discussion encourages you find every possible reason to avoid budgeting discussion.
Person One: I love/hate playing F, Marry, Kill…
Person Two: I never heard of it.
Person One: really? It’s fun to play, but someone always crosses a line, and then it becomes uncomfortable.
Person One: Like when my wife listed three of her friends.
Person One: or her sisters
Person Two: Oh, that’s brilliant!
Person Two: There are so many fun ways to play the game…the more I consider it.
Person Two: “jesus, buddha, mohammed”
Person Two: “sister teresa, ghandi, idi amin”
Person One: I’m not playing with you.
Person Two: “your mom, your maternal grandmother, your paternal grandmother”
Person One: I like the inclusion of idi amin though…
Person One: I’m trying to decide which dead grandmother I’m going to F.
Person One: I’m definitely F’ing Buddha, but do I marry jesus or mohammed????
Person Two: Jesus. he forgives.
Person One: for the win!
Person Two: how are we estimating “average cost” in the calculation in cell cc119? i don’t get it.
