A Hitman or a Smelly Gas? 



My boss and I attended a meeting with a client on Monday and a large portion of it had me just listening, taking notes, and nodding. I did jump in with a couple of comments and corrections and I felt I had performed well at the meeting.

After returning to the office to discuss the fallout of the meeting, I was complimented on my actions at the meeting. He commented on them saying that I was "silent but deadly." I think he meant it as a hitman - one who professionally does exactly what is needed without making any extraneous noise/sounds. However, it must be known that that 3-word phrase is also a commonly known description for powerful, sneaky, soundless farts.

If only my performance in any situation could be summed up in similar parallel descriptions.
