Another NLNC Dramatic Production

The building is the headquarters of an international Product Portfolio Management software development company. The room is a corner office with an expansive view of a beautiful freeway overpass and a Linens and Things. Three men dressed in pleated pants discuss the future of the company. All three are drinking coffee, not from a disposable like the minions drink from, but rather a mug from home. One man's mug reads -- World's Greatest Dad. One man's mug reads -- I'd Rather be golfing. One man's mug reads -- The NLNC is Fucking My Trophy Wife.

Man #1: Profits were down in Q2, way down. What are we going to do?
Man #2: It's the economy. Every one's hurting these days.
Man #1: You're right! Damn you Bin Laden!!!
Man #3: No, the problem isn't the terrorists. We've all got our American Flag lapel pins on. We're immune.
Man #1: You're right, and we support the troops too, so that can't be it.
Man #2: If it's not the economy, what can it be?
Man #3: It's production, the proles are just not putting out the product like they were earlier in the year.
Man #1: How can we fix it? Can we just fire them all and hire some Mexicans?
Man #2: Yeah Mexicans!!!
Man #3: No you fools!!! We already have that temp that sleeps at his desk, we can't afford any more siestas.
Man #1: We have to think...think out...what's that fresh new term that they're using at all the MBA schools?
Man #2: Ooh, I know! THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!
Man #1: Yes, think outside the box...I love it.
Man #3: Perhaps what the proles are lacking is proper motivation...
Man #1: Yes, we need to light a fire under them. Let's threaten their jobs.
Man #3: No, I mean we need to inspire them.
Man #2: We already have Hawaiian shirt day.
Man #3: What if we ordered a shit load of those motivational posters?
Man #1: You mean like the kind that have some fucking mountain on it...and the label AMBITION?
Man #3: Yes exactly. The proles love that kind of shit.
Man #2: I like where your head's at.
Man #1: This is going to be great!!! Number three, you get a raise.

Seriously, the company I'm working for got a huge-ass shipment of those ridiculous things today. Everywhere I looked minions were hanging up the black-bordered atrocities. So to honor their efforts, we're going to start putting some of our favorites up here on The NLNC. You know, to keep ya'll motivated to keep reading.
