So once a month a co-worker and I give a presentation to one of our incoming classes.  As part of the presentation members of the class are required to introduce the two of us and read short bios about us.

It’s always interesting to hear what happens to our bios when one of the students tries to ad lib and make our introduction their own…

Take my co-worker, shortly after graduating high school she toured Europe with the group Up With People.  However, one person who introduced us decided to rename the group Up With THE People.  Which sounded like some sort of people’s liberation revolutionary group.  Up With The People, empowering the downtrodden massses and toppling governments in every nation they visit!

Then there’s my latest intro, instead of being introduced as graduating Magne Cum Laude, I’ve now graduated Magne Cum Latte.  I believe that was a grande, whole milk, full cafe latte - but it was my college years so I’m a little hazy on the details now.
