From the inbox, regarding this excerpt from Andrew Ross Sorkin's Too Big To Fail: "Substitute any utilitarian object name for "Lehman Brothers" (i.e. "my used pool filter pump") in this article, and both the astonishing incompetence and absurdity of the compensation these men receive is made clear." Ooh, try it! It really works!
well SURE it works--if you still have a pool.
What if your pool is too big in which to flail?
Two hips and a hooray for you, sir.
I heart Mad Libs.
I screwdriver Mad Libs.
Reading just this small excerpt makes me sick to my stomach, yet I want to read more.
Someone explain to me how this dialogue is even close to being real.
“I’m not going to call Ken Lewis and tell him to buy Lehman Brothers.â€Â
Is an interesting point you raise, I think!
Bear in mind that Andrew Ross Sorkin is an idiot. He made up all this dialogue of course.
