Remember kids - insult in public, apologize in private. |
|
That's the way to get ahead in today's brave new world. Better still just pretend you apologized. Even better still, pretend you never said such a thing in the first place, and it's a terrible slur on your character that people could think you'd ever say such a thing, 'cos you couldn't.
All you need to succeed in this world, kids.

Can't believe that some intelligent people are working that way these days. But I guess intelligence has nothing to do with integrity. I've seen it particulary in a jesus freak judge where I work. Doesn't really endear me to modern "christianity", or it's adherents.

3. I noticed that. Pretty shitty. Isn't that the Bush policy, too? |
|
Screw up in public, then discreetly send powell to apologize/make corrections?

5. "I was just kidding around" |

That's a big favorite of mine. Someone slams you, then says, "Oh. I was only joking."
Up with people! :eyes:
