Entering the final month of FY21 first quarter and sorting out sponsor reports for July, I was reminded of this conversation that occured after a Laugh It Off presentation in Albuquerque.

Talking with a STS team member last night about this exchange, she encouraged me to jot it down for the amusement of others. I agreed.

Enjoy.

Dan: I need to see STS’s metrics.

Me: Are you planning on sponsoring us?

Dan: No.

Me: Are you sure? Here’s the schedule for FY21.

Dan: I need to see STS’s metrics

Me: We share metric reports with current and prospective sponsors.

Dan: There is a movement for public transparency from private industry.

Me: There is a movement in my bathroom twice a day with great regularity. I’m lucky that way.

Dan: I need to see STS’s metrics.

Me: It’s good to have goals in life.

Dan: You won’t show me STS’s metrics?

Me: Are you planning on sponsoring us?

Dan: I already said no.

Me: You make a convincing argument. No, you won’t see our metrics.

Fin.
