"By a clear majority of the board, Peter is this year's designated executive-on-the-rise who flies to close to the sun and then crashes spectacularly to Earth, conveniently diverting media and public attention from the rest of us!"

'A good idea, Fletcher? So was your last one. Which, I recall, brought us to the brink of bankruptcy!'

"Who wants to hear a funny story about the third quarter?"

'The shareholders have voted you off the board. We don't feel you're tough enough. On the bright side, you've won this year's Miss Congeniality award.'

'I went into that meeting with a hidden agenda and then forgot where I put it.'

'Now that we've defined 'happy deficits' let's try it out on the stockholders.'

'I've given a lot of thought to giving some thought to your latest proposal.'

"Tell the vice presidents they've downsized enough."

'These are the end of year figures recollected in tranquility.'

"All we have to fear is fear itself and unmet quarterly projections."

'I really wish you guys would knock that off.'

'The good news is we're projecting a profit. The bad news is, none of us will be alive then.'

"That's a Hula Hoop. I asked you to find a loophole."
