| Curran Events Hey Ya’ll, As that old famous sports announcer used to say "How About That," that was a phrase that Harry Curey, longtime Chicago Cubs public address announcer used whenever a "blooper" or great play was made on the field. Reckon what he’d say about all the great plays (tongue and cheek) that Corporate America has been pulling off here lately ? Does it make you wonder? It does me, nut no, not really it doesn’t because I worked for a guy way back in my early work career who had been deeply entrenched in the Corporate World. He could throw money around with the best of them, lived "High on the Hog" serve on "Boards" for a number of banks, kept an attorney on retainer so he could threaten suit if you didn’t play his way and yes, had his own Jet so he didn’t have to travel with common folk. Those that worked for his company had a feeling that something was going on especially when all you heard was "my new car"; "my new house"; "Mr. Rolex"; but when review time came around all you heard was "We don’t have the money, the company is barely keeping its head above water, maybe next year." the smart ones figure it out (myself included, thanks to a heart to heart with my Dad) and left the company because "Rolex Man" eventually went to a "Federal Country Club" because he got caught "cooking his books!" that’s when I went to TX-DOT where at least I knew the money would never be great but it was a fair and honest way to earn a living. Don’t you know that the "Executive Wash Rooms" are buzzing all across America especially those in Washington D.C. and all them C.E.O’s, C.F.O.’s and Politicians are trying to figure out a way to come clean. Here’s a little insider trading tip for you--INVEST in any company that produces hand soap I think there might be a run on it in the near future! As Curtis would say, "Imagine That!" Anyway most of us know that Corporate America (not all, because there may be some legitimate ones out there) have been "Robbing the Poor" for a long time and their partners are Politicians and High paid lobbyist--Hey just a thought I plead the Fifth could be the next great saying here in America. Speaking of Corporate America Bobby Hold-em just bought the DDR airport. It went defunct because one night Cole, Scott and Isaac needed a camp fire but were out of wood so they just came up with whatever fuel they could get their hands on. It was discovered later that some of that fuel was the Books for DDR. Now talking about "cooking the books!" Bobby plans on having the Heli-port for his corporate helicopter and will be adding a new exciting flight to the schedule. It will be going to Club Med Dacus! HOW ABOUT THAT! From Montgomery’s Sagebrush Philosopher, until next time. Good Cow Call’n. Good Frog Gigg’n and Go Ag’s. Adios. |
