    You don’t know how many times I’ve been tempted to say, “Gimme the gum. Out. Now.”

    PS — Any way you could mention something about loud flip-flops in your next tip? (“SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!”)

    Wow. I have never seen a demo from someone wearing flip-flops. However, I’m smelled some mighty bad perfume and cologne. So there’s two tips, right there. Going into the database of future tips… Thanks!

    I was in a meeting with Steve Wildstrom, showing him the latest incarnation of our PC DVR software 3-4 years ago. Steve spent most of the time staring down at his Blackberry (which he explained to us he had just received for a review) and the rest of the time cleaning his ear with a pencil. Memorable.

    Is chewing tobacco a no no?

    What if you’re pitching for the Wrigley’s account?
