August 8, 2008Poison Phrase ~ I don’t suppose

Filed under: Poison Phrase of the Week by merylrunion |

The producer of a local TV News station called today for details regarding an interview we scheduled for the speaker I’m hosting next week, Jeffrey Armstrong. I wanted TV coverage of the event Jeffrey is speaking at the night before, and I started asking this way:

- I don’t suppose you could send a news team out to Unity Church for the talk he’s giving the night before…

I stopped and told him, “I’m the PowerPhrase woman, and that was a bad way to ask.”

The producer laughingly agreed with me and proceeded to tell me what to do to arrange coverage.
