Jargon Gone Terribly Wrong

I've already e-mailed this account to a number of friends, but it's such a gem, I thought I'd share with all. On my first day in NYC, I met a woman who was attending a conference on animals here because she works at a zoo clear across the country. I asked her what she did at the zoo and she told me that she was an Artificial Emotional Enhancement Coordinator. I replied that I'd been out of the country for awhile, so didn't have the slightest clue what that meant. She looked at me and said, "It means I make toys for the monkeys."
