The senior managing director a top-ranking banker walked onto the crowded elevator, focus fixed on her Blackberry, pressed the elevator button and farted loudly. As the smell filled the elevator, as others nervously coughed, some covering up giggles, her focus stayed on the Blackberry. Four floors later she left, commenting to a colleague, The elevators are vile. The janitors are always on some break.
Another MD turned to me: Thats why she earns the big bucks.
Being able to fart? I asked.
No, you idiot. Audacity. Audacity so great that you can fart on the elevator and blame it on someone else.
Maurice R Greenberg, the former chairman of AIG, has that kind of fart-in-the-elevator audacity.
