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

'The good news is, we did as well as expected last quarter. The bad news is, we didn't expect to do too well.'

"We need to change, but WHEN?"

"It's time to retire the word 'profit'."

'We're holding our own, but I'd really like to see some growth.'

'Guess who made a bushel today?'

'As you know, some of us can't keep up with the pace of new technology.'

"Your records indicate a great deal of early promise however you've apparently become old and bald."

Beware of the 4th quarter.

"At least we're consistent ... "
