Glad you enjoyed it. I forgot to add that like all security types we loved a well-conceived heist (as Seneca said, "There is a great deal of difference between a person who chooses not to sin and one who doesn't know how") and so as the facts came out I and the other security guy on the response/spin team were doing ROTFLMAO routines to the point where Security Pacific officially complained to Honeywell. Got us called on the carpet before a VP.

So the two of us spelled each other, one would cover the meeting while the other hit the head and let the laughter out, then switched off.

As the CFO of Honeywell told me in another context, when I observed that the bankers we were trying to sell to didn't appear to be very smart, "Bankers aren't supposed to be smart. The last time bankers were smart they crashed the whole country." Alas, we now have smart bankers :-(

Cheers,
