Yesterday, I had the extreme misfortune of having to attend an in-house training course, “Communicating Successfully with Stakeholders”. As predicted, it was a boring, dreary affair.
Anyway, the one and only thing I was remotely interested in was when the speaker asked of us, in between his rephrasing the same point several times, “How do we communicate with someone literally from another planet?”
As soon as this question penetrated my non-functioning brain, I raised my head off the desk, prised my eyes open with my fingers, wiped the drool off my chin and pondered the question: literally from another planet?
I didn’t ponder for long, though. The speaker had moved on by then, I decided quickly that it was stupid dumb-fuck corporate speak of sorts and went back to sleep.
Today, however, it’s bugging me. Do we have aliens amongst us? Is that why we can’t seem to communicate successfully with them? No matter how much some of us try, we can’t get them; to see the light? I can only conclude that aliens, far from being an intelligent species as many nutcases believe, are actually quite stupid, MKay? Perhaps their language is in Ting Tong. That’s all I can thinKG of. Oh look! A Bolt of Aurora out the window! Quick, call the Doktor — I just saw a crusading rabbit get hit. Oh my poor Western Heart, it bleeds!
