I like the idea of the CEO's all sitting up late writing their little essays for the annual reports.
Dear Shareholder,
Once again it is my pleasure to bring you our annual report. Although the value of our shares has dropped by 20%, we are overcoming our losses by selling off unused properties and reducing our workforce.
Because I have the added responsibility of filling out all those pink slips, which is very distressing to me, I assure you, I am asking that the shareholders grant me a 20% bonus over my base pay of $800,000. I am certain you will be happy to grant my request.
Sincerely,
Your CEO.
PS: President Bush made me write this.
LOL! I thought the same thing, Miss Marple. I am invisioning many who work with my husband composing these even as we speak .... I also enjoy the thought that these CEOs have to justify their compensation ... still ... government seems to be getting ... bigger?!
This worries me ... another example of the few screwing it up for the many, maybe.
Miss Marple suffers
fools not lightly in the least
Truest of friends, she.
Unexpected strength
Guided you through those rough waters
Undaunted you are
What to say about
A woman who likes gardens
And big, loud ka-BOOMs?
Brain just rounded the back end of my property and coming up to the side of the garage ...
