VICE-PRESIDENT WAYNE’S EXECUTIVE BRIEFING · FOR THE
MAINLINERS
Talk about qualityCount those beans
Chapter 21
Feeling refreshed now?
2Good.
3I have to tell you that something occurred to me during the break.
4Looking around at all your bright shiny faces,
5I sensed that some of you just aren’t following all this very well,
6And then I realized that I’ve been wasting your valuable time with explanations,
7And reasons,
8And a lot of other useless irrelevant garbage like that,
9Because you are corporate mCEOs,
10And commercial nbank presidents,
11And senior managing partners in aconsulting firms,
12And other stuff like that,
13And so I keep forgetting that if you had any brains of your own,
14You’d be an investment banker on bWall Street,
15With all the cIvy Leaguers who are too smart to dirty their hands with anything even remotely connected to making things.
16I keep forgetting that what you really like most about your companies is that absolutely everybody in them is blind bone stupid,
17And perfectly willing to shoot all intellectuals on sight,
18Including even pseudo-intellectuals,
19dWith the possible exception of the stupid pseudo-intellectuals who graduate from Ivy League business schools,
20And can’t get a job on Wall Street.
21What I’m getting at is this:
22I apologize.
23I won’t bring up any more ereasons,
24And I won’t talk anymore about the importance of hiring stupid people.
25Instead, I’ll give you what you want,
26Which is a fList,
27Just like all Harriers want.
28gAnd I assure you that if you do what is on the List, you will be an incredibly successful Harrier,
29And never have to think about anything at all.
30Okay?
31Feeling better?
32Super.
