John brought in a bunch of foreigners who took away our jobs…and we didn’t mind a bit. Of course I’m talking about John’s foreign students from his English course. They came from far and wide to assist him with his duties throughout the meeting adding a fun twist as they always do. We invited them to lunch but they were too busy mowing John’s lawn, washing his car and painting his house SPEAKING ONLY ENGLISH! What a great teacher!

Don’t know what rumors John spreads around about Amy but our Saudi Arabian friend, Mohammed, with lots of giggles, introduced “Spicy” Amy, our Table Topics Master. We found out Corky liked to party in school and spent a lot of time in detention. We were shocked. SHOCKED, I SAY! Our hairy friend Ania wished she would’ve known girls in America shave their legs and armpits. We found out one Polish girl shaved her head. Carlos thinks it’d be useful for a kid to know ‘how to be a “G”‘ (that’s gangster to you). You had to be there for the visual. Rey noticed a little romance blooming between her son and her friends’ daughter but if he needs some help in that area, he’ll need to talk to Dad. Mohammed has no idea what he’d like to learn in school but he did enjoy the time his friend turned on the air conditioning unit and there were cats inside (more giggling).

Lloyd gave his icebreaker. Lloyd partied a lot in high school, decided school wasn’t for him even though his Dad threatened to withhold money for underwear. Lloyd assured us he did not go without underwear. The military helped turn Lloyd around through the time tested methods of multiple push-ups, yelling and don’t ask-don’t tell. He did a great job using humor and the word of the day.

One of our new members, Maureen McGovern, evaluated Lloyd. She looks strikingly similar to Maureen McReynolds.

Louis showed us the possible ‘Future of Education’ which apparently involves lovely assistants and hypnotizing women – the cornerstones of a fulfilling life. It was a complex topic that deserved more than the 5-7minutes allotted. There were brain waves and unconscious consciousness and light bulbs. At one point, I saw the ghost of my great grandfather. It was a genuinely interesting topic that I’m sure we all would like to hear more about.

Emperor Albert evaluated Louis but really took the opportunity to talk about himself.
