I fear for your children

So said a female collegue - from another firm - after spending a week working with me on a deal.

Apparently I can be somewhat intense.

It appears using the phrase "Let's not fucking bore the numbers to death on this" in a meeting with an... unfriendly entity was a bit shocking to some people.

It did, however, concentrate minds.

I fear for your readers

Bah. You'd be an excellent father.

But then perhaps my utter lack of maternal instinct makes me a poor judge of these things.

Mate, my readers can run away. Children may be subject to intermittant visits.

Eerie:

Recall your uncle?

Indeed...well, you'd make an excellent uncle at the very least.

Sure, I show up every couple of years with exotics gifts, stories, women, and then disappear again.
