The good thing about being part of the Sales & Marketing department is that you can abbreviate to S&M, but the downside is that no one is amused by the idea of having an internal slogan/rallying cry along the lines of “Taste the pain.”
You are all my favorite people of the day. I laughed so hard and long that keys fell off my keyboard (no joke).

recently (warning : tangential comment ahead !) my mother and i were in downtown boston, looking for a t-shirt or souvenir of some sort for her boyfriend, and we passed one of those suddenly ubiquitous “sox” shirt kiosks in quincy market, and it had a sign stapled to a really cool shirt and the sign said “this shirt S & M only,” and my MOTHER and i both looked at it and then at each other and grinned wrily before we got sort of horrified at the leap our minds had just made, and the salesgirl rolled her eyes and said “that’s SMALL and MEDIUM, ladies” and we had to walk away as if we were at all dignified.
the moral of this comment? this is why the women of my family are in *education*, not marketing.
Greg, I might be making a mountain out of a molehill. I think there are a couple of jokes on Let’s Get Small that reference S&M;but it’s not a huge part of the act.
You are one funny mofo
Lick my marketing strategy.
You know you want to.
SUBMIT to the whims of the marketplace!
Sweet. Have you ever heard the Steve Martin riff on S&M;?
Sales & Marketing: We’re so on top of it, it doesn’t even have a safeword.
Where I can find the Steve Martin riff on S&M;? I love his standup.
BUY THIS, BITCH!
