The Sage and the Tyro



Overheard at the YMCA.  Two fellows talking by the incline bench.  One, a middle-aged businessman, the other, a year or two out of college.

"It's a great company.  You're going to love working there."

"Yea, yea, I'm really excited.  I think there is a lot of opportunity for growth with them."

"Yes, they are great.  Just keep your mouth shut, do what they ask, and don't make trouble.  You'll love it there."

I looked over to see if they were kidding.  It was obvious they weren't.  The Sage and the Tryo.  America's Finest.
