Bangingly silly
An actual comment from investment discussions today that I assisted with:
In a discussion in the conference call - which involved me giving a bunch of Yankees summaries of some Arabic investment information they've sat on for months, fools - about a certain actor in the investment, one of the partners involved, in responding to a sceptical comment of mine re positioning, assured me that the actor in question is trustworthy because he's involved in charity [with details].
Bloody fucking hell.
I am doing business with virgins. Or idiots (for either believing this is true, or thinking that such would convince me).

Well, it's an improvement. Usually they trust them because they speak English.
Just e-mail this guy the link below before your next conference call.
