Re: Negritos/Negronis

Darn Freudian slips. OK, yes, it's true. For our clients that absolutely demand to have a human remediate their code, we have a secret body shop over in Malaysia. Problem is we were in such a hurry that the only way to clear enough land for our factory was to set a few fires. I'd like to take this time to apologize to Thailand for our overzealousness; patience, it'll all blow over.

Anyway, when I found out about the breech, errr breach (sorry, another Freudian slip), I was forced to tell our underwriters over on the Hang Seng, Feng Shui Mayo, that the IPO might have to be delayed. Well, they got a bit peeved so, well, I'd like to take this time to apologize to Hong Kong for what happened to their market lately.

There, now that I've got that off my chest, I feel better.

P.S. Oh, one more thing. To all those US brokers we gave IPOs shares to recently, sorry we caused you to dump all your Y2K stocks prematurely in anticipation. Don't worry, the whole market was down a wee bit so I don't think anyone noticed. ;^)

Kevin: Re: short sellers ...

Boy, you sure went a long way for that punch line. Cute.

Incidentally, did you know that some of those diminutive Malaysians are, in reality, mothers getting back into the work force after their child-bearing years? It's true, you know. Yes, we've had quite the disruption in training sessions as the conversation tends to gravitate towards the compensation package.

It seems they're unhappy with the mini-mom wage.
