Grumpy Blogs about life, dreams and Work

True Story.

A VP of Marketing chewed a piece of gum at her desk.  The owner of the company came in and wanted to meet.  The VP said excuse me and wrapped the piece of gum in a Post It Note.  Incredulous, the multimillionaire boss said, “That’s an expensive wrapper for a piece of used gum, don’t you think?”  The boss was 100% serious.  The VP, being good at stupid diplomacy said, “Oh, sorry.  I don’t do it all the time.” The moment passed and they discussed spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on advertisement for their luxury product.

Thinking about this, wouldn't it be nice if there was a Cheap Fairy?  The sole purpose of the Cheap Fairy would be to come out of nowhere at a moment like the one above and slap the cheap bast*rd in the face.  In the instance above, the Cheap Fairy would have to pummel the boss for a decade of so.
