My Boss sent me into pick up a bunch of Corp guys at OHare once...He tossed me the keys to the Company Car and instructed me to go and fetch them...I was to take them Directly to the Trade Show at McCormick Center.....Well, as we were leaving OHare, under the flight path, a massive glob of axle grease fell out of the sky off a plane and hit like a 5lb booger right smack on the windshield!
Scared the hell out of us! Smack! Anyway, realizing what it was, I didnt dare hit the wipers of course, and smear that glob all over the place...We all agreed that action would not be wise in this kind of traffic, driving East in a Sun-up situation....
So, I just drove on over to McCormick with it there somewhat inert and parked the car, leaving that monster blob right there on the windshield...You woulda needed a snow shovel a whole roll of paper towels, and a gallon of TriChlor to get that mess off! I said, "DaHellWittit!" and We all went into the Show to Work the booth...
Near the end of a long and tiresome Trade show day, I had an idea...I said to my Boss..."Hey, heres the Car Keys back, why dont you get out of here a little early? Get back to the Hotel, and avoid the rush?" "I'll get these guys downtown in a cab or on a bus or something, and you can relax for a bit before Dinner?" "We will meet you in the Lobby Bar" And so off he goes, thinking I'm a real peach!
Upon our return to the Hotel and over a few drinks before dinner, He regaled us with a story about how he had to clean a big snotter off the Company Car windshield with a legal pad and his monogrammed hanky! We all just sat there and listened interestedly but laughing so hard inside!..Like when somebody farts in Church! He went on and on about it, as we were all busting a spleen, He couldnt figure out how the hell that massive grease blob got there in the underground parking garage...We never said nothing! He even gave me a raise that year, for being such a good guy!
