really? really.
I'm sitting in a meeting with three male co-workers and a male consultant is explaining a grid on a powerpoint slide. He's pointing out what the low/low quadrant means to us (re: company) and then gets to the high/high quadrant and says, "This high/high quadrant is your family jewels." *blink* The male co-worker's look at me. I look at them. I giggle. They giggle. And then the consultant says, "Well, um, you know what I mean. I mean, every family has jewels!" He's just made it worse. More giggling ensues. We eventually move on.
During this one of the co-worker's sent me a blackberry message with, "He said family jewels. Heh. Heh."
Love it.

Clue-ments:
It could be worse. He could have said something about a "money shot".

Hm..., I once went to a course in Bracknell (of all places!) in England. Our instructor, Julie, - for some reason or orher - showed us a photo of her cat and said: "This is Julie's *****".
This was followed by an awkward silence as the (mostly male) audience tried not think of the first thing that came to their minds... ;-)
