My powers of observation might need some work
AUGUSTA, GA. - So we took some students up to the state capitol to meet with our legislators and talk about issues in education.
We set up our table with our beautiful banners, university literature, and logo giveaways to build our branding in people's minds. We were giving away mini bottles of hand sanitizer. Because I am big dork, I like to come up with something punny to say when people come by, to get their attention and encourage them to take a logo item.
"Would you like some hand sanitizer?" I asked a passing delegation, with a smile. "Politics can be a dirty business!"
One of the gentlemen smirked at me: "Yeah, we know."
It was a delegation representing the Cherokee nation.
Sigh... I didn't spend the rest of the day hiding under the table, but I wanted to.
You never know when you will put that foot right in the old mouth.
