Oh, the Wonder of Business in America.

While the Lost One is loath to ever post a link to the NY times, he can't find this story any where else, so he's just going to throw this link up here. A rock, paper, scissors match to solve who gets a $20 million account? Having hung out almost exclusively with Japanese majors at GW, the Lost One knows that speaking Japanese does something to a fellow, (that's a compliment, Ronin), however, this takes the cake. Still, you know who I feel sorry for? The poor sod who threw paper on his first try. I mean you know what his Monday was like, "Paper!?! Johnson, who throws paper the first time?! Turn in your keys to the executive wash room, I'm just to disgusted to look at you." So to my business majoring friends, don't neglect your R-P-S skills. MBAs from GW are fine, but a carefully timed scissors is better.

On a happier note it seems that the winning Christie's exec. won after careful consultation with an expert in the field. His 11 year old daughter whose advice, "Everyone knows you should go with scissors first." netted her father the account. Not everyone young one, certainly not poor Johnson at Sotheby's. A corner office for the little lady. Or at least let her stay up an extra half hour. Business week is going to run her profile.

Update:
The New York seems to be playing rough, so I suppose I could just crawl away like a bitty little bug. Or not. Try Bug Me Not. Fight the power. (Sorry can't type that with a straight face)
