Our chairman, Vik, got a heck of a surprise this morning. The French executive jet he ordered a couple of years ago showed up this morning on our private air strip in Long Island. (Don't tell Cessna or Raytheon that our new jet is French.)
50 large (thats $50 million to those of you in flyover country). Had to be cash on delivery, our credit sucks since last October. Good thing we've got that 75 jumbo ($75 billion to the hicks) from the nice guys down in D.C.
Boy, did that $1.77 mil we spent on lobbyists last quarter pay off or what?
Anyway, we thought for about a millisecond on cancelling the deal but we would have had to pay a penalty. We sure wouldn't want a couple mil of taxpayer money to go for nothing now, would we?
After the jet showed up, Vik took the rest of the day off. He flew up to Winnepeg where his girlfriend can drink at 18.
Come back tomorrow. He might have brought us a good story.
BTW (that's by the way to you flyover hicks) Steve Forbes can shove it for telling all of America that we don't have a clue on the Early Show this morning.
