There is this man who sits near me at work. I don’t know him. He’s not on my team. Simply by happenstance we sit within earshot of each other. He talks - a lot - on all sorts of topics. Sometimes he sounds like he knows what he’s talking about. Most times, it seems, he’s pulling topics, “facts” and stream-of-conscience segues out of thin air. Some days it’s mildly entertaining. Most days I do my best to ignore him.

So I’m sitting at my desk, rockin’ out with my headphones on, bangin’ away at my keyboard. With code ready to compile and coffee cup empty, I fire off the build script, grab my mug, take my headphones off and hear:

This is the kinda thing Ollie North always did.

What?! Was he talking about funding the Contras? Lying to Congress? Shredding important documents? Trafficking in narcotics? Staring in his own radio show? And how could Oliver North possibly have anything to do with anything at work? I just shook my head and walked on.

In short order I had a hot cup of coffee in hand, a compiled application on my desktop and rock’n'roll in my ears. I may never know what he was talking about. Strange.
