I am bereft. My work team is losing our most recent addition, a woman who is just a treasure. Let’s call her Treasure.
Below is an example of why I am going to miss Treasure.
============
I was displaying my water bottle to my team.
I wanted them to notice it is stamped with my least favorite phrase.
I held it up to the camera. “Look at this thing!”
Treasure said, “Clearly, that is a uterus.”
=======
Treasure is being wrested from our team, but I hold out hope she will be shuffled back in someday.

… not my *least* favorite phrase, but yeah, not great. (especially when used to imply that doing something Stupid would be Brave and thus fortune will favor you if you do the Stupid Thing and… probably not.)(okay, also when used to imply that those not favored by “Fortune” were not adequately brave, because *usually* that is not the core issue.)
But also yes, ram/uterus.
May she be shuffled back in someday!
KC – it’s always taken at face value by people who don’t know it’s Pliny’s last words before being taken out by a volcano.
… it’s *WHAT* now? *scuttles off to wikipedia to find out about Pliny…*
KC – Get the right Pliny. Plliny the Elder.
All – Update!. Treasure was born. with. an. extra. thumb.
(got the right Pliny, also fascinating)(I knew in theory you could be born with extra random body parts, but doubly-opposable thumbs seems like one of the few possibly-useful but almost-certainly-immediately-surgically-removed ones…)
KC – it’s really common. 1 in 1,000.
