Bob, BRILLIANT!, I spat my tea. Got any more? That's so corporate. You gotta grin. Only a corporate could grasp 'aiming for the stars' with a straight face. It's some of that, "You can't be sincere unless you're sincere", or it's "Because we care". Love it.

I once attended a "Winner's" Training course.

For "WINNERS!!!". Obviously?... do keep up.

The take-home present was a card. Inside the card proclaimed, "Now you know what a "WINNER!!!!" looks like!"

I treasure it always. It forced me to buy a BMW.

The card had a mirror.
