Seemed like whenever we began to head into stormy waters, a
passenger would joke about hoping it wasn’t a Perfect Storm.
I tried to keep ambivalent about it, but eventually I
cracked, and when the next person (a poor innocent Japanese girl) made a
comment, I let loose.
I explained that the origins of the phrase were that it was
originally a positive thing, and that even with current usage, imperfect storms
were far more frequent and far more dangerous.
Of course, for a bunch of reasons, that directly led to me
firing. It was a…
Horrible set of circumstances.
