Clackamas-Part Two!

Well, I threw a question out in an earlier blog concerning the meaning of Clackamas!
See the blog below....
"Some of you may be wondering, what in the world does Clackamas mean or what is it.

WELL! I would like for some of you to guess. Now this is fun. Don't look it up. That is cheating. Just the first thing that comes to your mind. Let me know what you think."

Here were the guesses...

Well, it actually is a city in Oregon. I know this is not very exciting, but the company I work for opened a site in that city a couple of months ago and as soon as my friend and I heard the name, we started laughing.

Our inside joke was that Clackamas sounds like one of those STD commercials. It goes a little something like this...
"I have Clackamas (says the husband), but I don't (says the wife) and we would like to keep it that way (they both say)." And then they inform you about some medication you can try. And then rattle off some systems to look out for. Our symptoms go a little like this....Crusting of the elbow, juicy forehead, itchy earlobe, etc.

Just thought I would share our little funny. May not seem funny to anyone else, but we almost pee'd in our pants because we were laughing so hard.
