A, final word from
the
Almighty Janitor
In the
unlikely event I ever become president of a company, my first order
of business will be to promote the janitor to executive vice
president of Tech Support. Then I'll call him into my office and say
"All right, Herb, I want you to tell me what's going on in the
company. Care for a drink before we begin? I think I have a bottle of
Scotch around here someplace."
"Lower left drawer of your desk," Herb will reply, "Right behind your box of El Puffo cigars, which, I might add, are excellent."
