Take That Business Man

Into the fray with you boy.

I had a client come in to the office today. He is an evangelical Christian who has made his living for the past 30 odd years teaching kids about the life of Jesus with a dummy. A Howdy Doody dummy not the marriage of Jesus and a dummy. He wanted some video converted to DVD for sale or giveaway at his sermons. I'll pause here to let you know this is not a Christian bashing post, the man was quite nice and made no attempt to convert me.
He had three video/sermons that he wanted converted, each bearing a specific title.
Now the name of his dummy is Homer. And the name of the first video that I started on was "Homer Sez...Come to Jesus".
Now it is a common thing to shorten the names of DVDs so that when you load them into you computer the title doesn't take up 6 lines underneath the icon. My choice for this abbreviation was "Homer Sez".
Stop.
Look down at your keyboard and see what letter is right next to Z. That's right it's an X. So being busy and absentminded as I am prone to be, I mistyped the name. The whole process goes thru and I'm about to start dubbing 100 of the aforementioned DVD, when I decide to check the DVD for quality assurance.

The icon pops up....
and yes...
...It says "Homer Sex DVD".
The ideas began to billow around my mind of a family of good, wholesome christains settling down to watch a night of the good word (via a dummy's mouth)...
The icon pops up on the laptop (they have no TV: aka Satan's Box)
Little Timmy crying...
Mommy rushing to cover the baby's eyes , lest she be now with sin
Daddy yelling about the decline of morals in the church then leaving to be alone in his study.
I saw all of this then pulled the DVD out of the computer and broke it over my knee.

It's just business.

Why did I decide to check the DVD though. I don't normally do that.
Providence or just dumb luck.
Truthfully, I don't care.
