When You Least Expect It…
I never would have guessed the Heyman Fellows Panel, featuring Harvard grads working on Capitol Hill, would be a good source of unintentional double entendres, but I would have been wrong, thanks to the fellows’ shorthand method of referring to the Senators/Representatives they worked for as their “member”:
“You need a good member.”
“Your job experience all depends on your member.”
“Unfortunately, there are some dud members out there. You don’t want to get stuck with a dud member . . . not for very long, at least.”
“You have to respect your member. You have to agree with your member–not all of the time, but most of the time, or else you’ll be frustrated.”
And the crowning moment of the night:
“It’s great if you’ve got the big member in a committee.”
Indeed.
