Future C-suite Mugs

You did a hostile takeover of the corner lemonade stand? Why not? It's operated by Timmy. He's seven. He's a big boy. By seven, I had three ice cream carts. Besides, I made his investors an offer they couldn't refuse. We'll split the six free espressos. Waaaaah!

'We're under capitalized. As soon as we reach the break even point we'll buy a lemon.'

'I guess there are lots of rotten jobs, Gramma...I hope I don't have to clean the taco hut forever.'

'Couldn't you just bring a bucket and spade like other children?'

'We need to change our luck. Let's move our headquarters to Redmond, the home of Microsoft.'

"Mr Frimley will see you now."

'I'm sure that you are highly qualified. It's just that we're not hiring anyone at the third grade level.'

'Our little guy is busy with homework, or if we're lucky, some sort of social network start-up.'

'...And for the low visibility positions we can bring people on board who can, you know...do things.'

"Gee, thanks! What rate of interest does it pay?"

"Still believe leaders are born not developed?"

'Keep asking for more allowance. It's good practice for negotiating future stock and option grants.'

"When I grow up, I'm going to be a suit."

"You're just gaming down there? Shouldn't you be issuing your first IPO for some billion dollar internet enterprise you've created?"

"So a play date next Tuesday, okay? Have your people call my people to set it up."

"I believe we're done here...we've covered all out butts — I mean bases!"

LEMONADE 50 CENTS, NOW HIRING, 'Okay, you're hired -- now, I want you to forget everything you learned in pre-school.'

I'm interning at town hall for my college transcript. Cool. I'm taking AP classes to boost my GPA. How about you, Twig? I'm working at my dad's nursery. What do you get out of that? Money. Novel idea!
