Company Transfer Mugs

'I told you I'd deal with your transfer request, Jenkins. Cut the deck!'

A fight in the Boardroom.

'They sold the company in 2001? I was wondering why things were slow.'

"It's Swamp & Swallow - they're making an offer we can't refuse!"

"Actually, it's more like a mouse race."

'We've just become the biggest corporation in America.. let's celebrate today and begin downsizing tomorrow.'

"To summarize the year: we were taken over, we took over, we were taken over and we took over."

'If we have only fractional ownership, it's not a private jet anymore, is it?'

Under new blame.

'Uh - oh... this looks like an unfriendly takeover!'

"You're a great team player - so we're trading you."

"Now this chart should clear up any confusion you have with the report."

"The torch is passed, but since the company is going green, I'm passing a high efficiency, solar powered multi LEC prism spotlight."

"So far it doesn't look like a hostile takeover."

"Oh, no! We've inadvertently gobbled up our own parent company."

"It's really quite simple: Shave off the soul patch and the car is yours."

'You can't put him out to pasture - he owns the pasture!'

'This merger will cut jobs 40%, reduce salaries 30% and increase the work hours 25%. Your job is to make this look like the best thing that ever happened to our employees.'

"It's strictly business. Please don't take your financial ruin personally."

'With the firm growing at the speed it has there are bound to be a few problems...'

'I think we're setting the bar too low.'

'There's a gentleman out here with $643 million. He would like to discuss a takeover.'

'Massive unpredictability is absolutely certain, maybe.'

"I always cry at mergers."

Corporate Darwinism

"We're a cable giant, you're a cable giant."

'I'm downsizing in hopes of a merger.'

'The buildings are merging.'

'Due to budget cuts we are having to take on more temporary staff.'

'Cards for all occasions: takeover, buyouts, mergers, flotation, bankruptcy.'

"Take me home now!"

"All this is mine now! I had my lawyers declare you incompetent!"

"There goes the merger between Brigg's corporation and Ludlow industries!"

'Should our firms merge, which one will be the girl?'

"Your transfer comes with a bonus - 40 acres and a mule."
