In fact I have been called every 4,5, and 6 letter word on the Yahoo WSTL board over the past 2 months =^) So I am a lot of bad things. The dancing tommorow morning should be priceless... I hope Zionts puts on his Clinton mask and really gives us the "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" routine. I can't wait to hear the excuses cooked up over the past 3 weeks of executive meetings. Excerpt from 1 transcript I found on an Aurora Highway Dated 10/06 Simon: What???!!!! Zionts: Umm.. well I told him $64 Million CPE, not $46 Million... Simon: What are you an accountant or something??? How can you mentally transcribe the numbers??? Zionts: Ok the truth is "I did not state those numbers" (pointing fingers and scowling towards Simon/Penny); we were playing a sign language game and .. well I must of mixed up the numbers. It's been a few years. Penny: On a f***** road show???!! Zionts: Well those long nights in hotels... its gets boring. Penny: This is why we bought you the Yahtzee board for god sakes!! Simon: We are F******, should we warn?? Zionts: Well we are in the quiet period now... I think that means we can't say anything at this point (leafing through "How to Be a CEO in the New Economy" handbook) Simon: DAmnit, this reminds me of 96!! Its like Deja Vu all over again Zionts: So i still get my bonus right? Penny: Yeh of course, anyone can make that kind of mistake. Shall we reprice another 500,000 options for all of us? Lets get the board to vote on that Simon: Ummm..Penny we are the board, remember those 19 Million Class B shares? Penny: Keep forgetting about those. Zionts: Do you think this will fly at the Conference Call? "IF the Glove doesn't fit, you must Acquit" I heard that somewhere Penny: (slapping Zionts on the back in good humor) Oh Marc, you are so funny - I really like you. Zionts: Plus Im a great salesman.. thats what Bruce A in IR Dept tells me anyway! I think he wrote my original resume ... remember that line "Singlehandendly brought in $14 Billion in GTE sales as a 23 year old" Simon: Yeh! And I actually believed that at first! Holy smoke. Penny: So do you think Kaufmann is going to be pissed? Zionts: Kaufmann who? (laughter from all 3)
