Battle Hymn

My husband came home with a funny story yesterday. I laughed so hard, I thought it would be fun to post it here.

He was in a meeting with a bunch of people, including the president of his company. Towards the end of the meeting, the president stands up and gives a "go get 'em, we can do it" speech. In the middle of this speech, some guy starts to hum the Battle Hymn of the Republic. You know, "Glory, glory hallelujah".

Then he switches from humming to actually singing the words. Before long, the president joins in and they get louder and louder. So here they are, singing as loud as they can while the other people in the meeting are in shock. The newer people have eyes as wide as saucers and the veterans are shaking their heads. Outside the room, heads are popping up over the cubicles like gophers.

They finally wind down, the president gives this guy a pat on the back and leaves the room. Well, you guessed it, that guy was my husband. I would say I couldn't believe it but actually I can.

There are a lot of things I love about him, but being able to sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic in the middle of a meeting without any reservations is definitely at the top of my list.
