Mon 17 December 2001 - You’re kidding!
Bloke on the train this morning in a pinstripe suit. His phone rang. "Hello? …. WHAT?! You’re kidding! Really?….. Oh you have to be joking!"
What corporate crisis could it be? Creditors out of control? Administrators called in? Business collapse? Industrial disaster? Or something bigger? Breaking news? Bin Laden captured? Or another terrorist attack? The audience of fellow travellers waited with baited breath.
"So… they kicked FOUR GOALS?!"
Ahhhh. Much more important. Shoulda guessed.
