This needs to be back dated to October of 2008, because that's when these events unfolded.

I was sitting in the Programmers' Meeting at work. We had covered old business and were going around the table bringing up our new business. I'd had my turn early and my new business had prompted a bit of a discussion. We wrapped it up finally and went on to the next person.

We reached an old friend of mine in the group. He started off with, “Did you just say, ‘Half of one, six dozen of the other?’”

SCORE!

Some moments in life are just too precious.

Now I have to find some way to start working in the phrase, “Running around like a chicken with its legs cut off.”
