He told me this funny story about his chorale rehearsal last night. Since he doesn’t blog except to correct my exaggerations (I love you Kevin), I thought I’d do it for him. After all, this is not "Amy’s World," this is "Kevin AND Amy’s World." :)
So . . . the chorale director has been putting a guilt trip on all the members for not doing more fundraising (try to imagine Kevin going door-to-door selling candy bars!). The director was droning on and on about how everyone needs to pitch in and raise money for the cause. Suddenly, in the very back of the room, this big, burly, bearded man (probably a bass, ‘cuz it begins with a "b") stands up and, with great emotion and conviction, yells, "Stop Tryin’ to Make everyone feel BADLY that they don’t ask for freakin’ Money from their Friends! You have No Idea what kind of Circumstances people have. Not everyone here has Rich Friends like Some People!! So Quit That!" And then he sits down. Akward silence fills the room. Many members are probably quietly glad they had this random spokesman. Isn’t that great?
[Kevin later corrected my rendition of his story. Actually, it was an old, wiry, thin man who did the yelling and his exact words were "Cut out the Crap! We have retired people and students in this chorale and some of them can't afford to cut a ten dollar check!"
