Who do you think packs Balmer’s lunch every morning? And he puts a Ho-Ho in there for little Stevie too!

Ballmer T. Clown doesn’t have a scruff to grab onto, roughly or otherwise. It’s all one wide bull neck from the chest up to the eyes. But I get your point and totally agree!

I thought Apple was the company with the ‘Reality Distortion Field.

Maybe we have something different here:
The Microsoft Stockholder Stupefaction Field

You gotta be damned ignorant to hang onto Microsoft stock and dump Apple stock. Don’t cha think? Or don’t cha?

Thanks.

Somehow I think this is closer to reality than fiction.

They keep firing the wrong guy. Keep an eye out for any exec throwing chairs and you’ve got your man. Then grab him roughly by the scruff of the neck and drop kick him out the nearest window. (Don’t worry he’ll blubber-bounce off the ground.)

SB: “Bill, back in college, boy, we had a helluva time.”
BG: “Yeah, we had some fun, didn’t we.”
SB: “Thank God for videotape and photographs so we can remember those good times, right?”
BG:”Yeah, videotape and photographs are…are you blackmailing me.”
SB: “No, no, I never used that word, I just mean that I have a lot of video and photographs of you doing stuff that, well, Melinda may frown upon, you know, we were just experimenting and all.”
BG: “How does CEO sound?”
SB: “Really, I am shocked and really happy you would make me CEO, wow, thanks.”

Is it just me or does the first picture in the article look like something straight out of Mel Brook’s “Young Frankenstein”? Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle?

Maybe Windows 8 is a good product afterall, and Ballmer & Gates had to get rid of Sinofsky to ensure MS maintain their (low) quality standards.

Does BSOD exist in Win8, or do you get a personal email of apology from Mr Ballmer instead?

May the sales person continue to lead M$!
