Axe Dark Temptation Shower Gel

#1 Post by themanintheseersuckersuit » Mon Feb 16, 2009 2:57 pm

A Client brought a case of Axe Shower Gel for each of the lawyers in my office. When it was delivered I had a moment of confusion as to its source. I will not look a gift horse in the mouth, I will not speculate as the the reason for the gift. I will assume a spirit of generosity.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Maybe someone should take a hint. :twisted:

I need to check on that, and Christie needs to check an see if any has "gone missing" lately.

I just checked with the receptionist to see if it was delivered by a squirrel (I got such a look in return)
