From a NYT cartoon by Phil Oliphant, commenting on recent exit settlements given to departing US executives.
Grampa to 5 year old grandson sitting at breakfast table:
"And tell me, my boy, what do you want to do when you grow up?"
Grandson:
"Grampa, I want to work for some huge company,
claw my way up to CEO,
then screw it up so badly
the Board will give me $200 million and chuck me out -
that's what I want to be!"
