  hahahah, good stuff!
  
  Being a relatively new reader of your blog (but completely addicted nevertheless, c'est true) I initially wondered whether there was fungus on the pastrami you and your wife were eating at a dinner!
  
  Also, good you linked to older posts, good on you for poking him in the eye with your stylus, as much as I like Investment Bankers, every now & then, they need that!

  .. were the aftershocks of the meeting ( with client CEO) aka Krakatoa as well? Hopefully not.
  
  and my mind has been doing some callisthenics trying to figure out what particular pose the “Little tigress” was shot in

  You should ask Pastrami about it.
  
  Okay maybe not.

  as an aside, i spent most of my life in advertising till last year, and in situations such as this, the whole meeting would have shifted to the screen saver ( the client ceo) and merits and demerits of tigress vis-a-vis sherni would have been trashed out in great detail.
  
  hmmmm...maybe thats the reason investment bankers get paid more money than agency people.

  LOL, not only the adv guys each one of us has had these moments of err umm drifting apart :) May God be with Pastrami. Tell him our prayers are with him... BTW, I guess the CEO would have turned turnip too.
  
  P.S: One explanation puhleej. If Pastrami was the ONLY one who could see the screen saver how did the boss realise what he was referring to as indicated in the car convo? :D

  have been your admirer for long,not only for your brand of humour which i think is similar to mine(without the fame and 100 blog comments per article of course).But i admire your ability to find humour in small things and your balls to do what you do.
  Kudos da.

  Well.....somehow i can so relate (in a weird way thgh) to Pastrami...(btw....that strange name also reminded me of food! :|) anyways...there was this 1 time in a similar packed conf. room...with almost similar kinda ppl surrounding me...(almost? well! we ppl in advtg. are neva alike any1 on this earth, or so we think!:D) ok b4 i wander...i wud like to finish, so here i was supposedly to jot down the highlights n key points abt the ppt being made and there i was busy watching 2 flies making out on the brim of my boss's coffee mug...trust me...it was quiet a learning process and also very exhilarating too...(considering she took a sip of coffee rite afta that!!)
