| 1. got a funny email from my wife once |
|
she was in such a meeting in Sweden, of all places, where her colleague was butchering her slides in slow motion before foreign dignitaries.
From her Blackberry, the email was entitled "JUST SHOOT ME NOW!"

Back to the seedy streets for me. Maybe if I find the right dress and show a little leg I can earn that money another way...

Do I strike you as the type to be attentive through a 4 hour "boring" meeting?

| 20. $100 for four hours? Who are you, WalMart? |
|
No way. I probably couldn't even listen to Sirius Channel 2 during the meeting where it's all holiday music, all the time.

First, it's redundant. Second, nobody who has ever said that was credible in my book.
