I was in a meeting the other day when one of our vendors made the comment that she didn’t want to be “poking the bunny”. The phrase struck me as rather unusual and I wasn’t quite sure where she was coming from. And, apparently, I was not alone as everyone else in the room was rather perplexed.

Now, I am told that if you go to a Playboy Club (do they still exist?) you are not allowed to poke, pinch or pat the bunnies. So, the phrase left me some what confused. She went on to explain that as a girl, she was told not to poke the bunny (rabbit) in the cage as that would make it angry. And, since she was bring up a topic that has already been discussed, she didn’t want to annoy everyone with further discussion. Thus her comment on poking the bunny.

We all found it to be quite humorous.
