Why having dirty mind is a bad thing at the office

Earlier this week, the owner of the company I work for had been out to a  meeting, presumably about motivational sales techniques.  He was recounting a story to 2 people in my office while I was stood by, writing out a compliment slip to go with something I was sending out.  He was explaining:

"...so, they've got this poster on the walls, with a fist on it.  I asked why and the guy held his hand up, fingers spread and said "What's this?  Its an open palm, and all these fingers are separate.  But whats this?"  He held his hand up in a fist and said "Its a fist, all the fingers are together as a team."  So all these people are holding their fists in the air and chanting "Fist! Fist! Fist!".."

At this point, I burst out laughing and my boss and the two salesmen look at me in mock horror. Cue comments like "Young Lady!" (from the boss) or "Beth!  I'm surprised!"

I went scarlett.  In fact no, scarlett isn't red enough.  I went uber-scarlett.

But come on...really.  Can you chant that in an office and not get any sniggers?  Am I the only one who thinks that chanting "Fist! Fist! Fist" is more appropriate talk for an extreme gangbang than it is for an office? 

Maybe I'm just the only one who didn't know better than to laugh!

I was in stitches before getting to the end of the post so clearly great gutter minds think alike!
