i have gotten some response (mostly email) from people seeing my name listed for vote as a general conference delegate. art throws out my write up and people started talking about "greasing palms."
this makes me think, what does one do to "grease" a palm in this circumstance? i decided to look it up.
n.
- Soft or melted animal fat, especially after rendering.
- A thick oil or viscous substance, especially when used as a lubricant.
- The oily substance present in raw wool; suint.
- Raw wool that has not been cleansed of this oily substance.
- Slang Something, such as money or influence, that facilitates the attainment of an object or a desire: accepted some grease to fix the outcome of the race.
tr.v. (grēs, grēz) greased, greas·ing, greas·es
- To coat, smear, or soil with grease: greased the pie pan.
- To lubricate with grease.
- To facilitate the progress of.
- Slang To kill.
we methodists like to eat, so they could be referencing the use of fats. maybe art thinks i should start changing the oil of cars in the annual conference parking lot. that could win points. i don't think it has anything to do with money, i am a youth minister, i have no money. not sure people would like me to put grease on them. i doubt my chances to get elected would be hindered if i started killing. maybe i'll just make some buttons
