The Man

Some people call me Mr. Charlie or Big Brother. Others like Whitey or Mister Man, but I generally prefer just The Man, or plain old Sir. I should point out that I'm not to be confused with "Da Man". It's close, but frankly it's a little too "ethnic" for my tastes. That new guy, whathisname... Sipowitz or Sobczyk or somesuch, from Marketing is always capering about spouting ridiculous phrases like "You da man!" and "Raise the roof!" I mean, I'm not against a sports metaphor to punch up a presentation, but "Raise the roof"? What the hell does that even mean? Whatever happened to "Step up to the plate" or "Keep your eye on the ball"? I suppose I should make an example of him. That sort of undignified behavior is entirely inappropriate for a place of business. Alright, it's settled then. "Can that jackass Bill Stevenson" is now number 1 on the action items list.
