The long & lonely lunch

Well today is thursday and I'm supposed to meet M&C for lunch.
"Supposed" being the operative word here, reality proved to be different.
Upon sending out my invitation to lunch mail, M replied apologising that he has a lunch training today.

So i started to think, ""Mmm... What kind of courses does DB conduct during lunch training?

My obviously unbalanced mind came up with the following..

1. Learning the how-to-suck-up meal etiquettes.
Learn how to suck up to your clients via tricks like offering him/her the first serving of food, odering in french, how to choose the most expensive looking dish.


2. 101 lunch-time conversational tricks for the aspiring financial consultants.
Engage in seemingly innocent conversation that can easily be pulled into a corporate sales pitch. Like how's your kids these days, do they need an education fund? How's your relationship with your ugly wife, wanna setup a private offshore account?


3. Paying the bill, make it obvious and elaborate!
Make the most out of your bill paying skills, like using a black card to show your obvious talent in making sales. Getting the waitress to read out the bill amount to impress your client, or sign for the bill with a big fat montblanc pen to show off.

Sure beats excel 2007 refresher course anyday yeah?
