I haven’t seen a beatin’ like that since somebody stuck a banana in my pants and turned a monkey loose! - Cousin Eddie, Vegas Vacation
If you’re wondering what this has to do with management, Duke, or wondering if I’ve just snapped, this quote was given by Ben Sossa, Director of Program Delivery at Duke, describing the crowd of 120 Fuqua students he found before him last evening.
Quick summary of the speech…this program is difficult on purpose, trying to create tension, you’re going to make it, study hard tonight for accounting, you’re all a bunch of bananas, see you in Dubai!
I don’t know about the rest of my classmates, but I hit the books hard last night, and it will show at 1 p.m. Or not…I’m not really that prepared for this afternoon! I do know what a “Pimms Cocktail” tastes like now though…Debit ‘Accumulated London Culture’, Credit ‘My dignity’.
Good luck today everyone! I’ll leave you with this quote from Vegas Vacation, which might be even more apropos:
You don’t know when to quit, do ya Griswold?… Here’s an idea: Why don’t you give me half the money you were gonna to bet, then we’ll go out back, I’ll kick you in the nuts, and we’ll call it a day!
Yeah, that's what I was going for. A Pimm's Cocktail is a drink with a bunch of different fruits in it, mixed with Pimm's (obviously) and Lemonade. Similar to Sangria I suppose.
Anyway, dignity as an asset is what I was going for...maybe I should've put 'manliness' instead. Debit (increase) my understanding of British drinking culture, Credit (decrease) my manliness!
(You're right though, the 'Debit/Credit' joke is starting to get a little tired!)
