What They Must Have Been Thinking

• "Is a VP slot really worth it?"
• "Well, there's no one to blame, but we can always reorganize."
• "If they've put up with him for 18 years, they can put up with him for two more."
• "Harvard degree. Wow. Harvard degree."
• "That is such an impressive title. There must be no power attached."
• "I've actually managed to lose knowledge during that briefing."
• "His strong point is either the passive or the aggressive."
• "Let's not hurt anyone's feelings by asking about the research."
• "Was that a wink?"
• "Hmm. The Stockholm Syndrome with idiots instead of terrorists."
• "He'll love that assignment in Fargo."
• "To summarize HR and the lawyer: It's easier to fire a pope."
