“…and where would we be if Einstein didn’t have all that time to hang out and think at the Swiss Patent clerk’s office he worked in.”
This is true and makes me wonder why Pete, with all of his unionized breaks, days off and lack of things to do at work hasn’t come up with equally brilliant theories.
I should make the distinction said Swiss jackass was Swiss German. The Geneva French guys were sort of polite, sleepy and the Lugano Italian guys I liked the best. They heckled the Swiss German guy so bad he totally lost his cool doing the presentation. No worry for him. I helped him and finished the program.
Rob is #1. His instigation is often very subtle. In most cases, people don’t even realize he’s baiting them. In fact, I’m not sure he even realizes it some of the time.
this is true biff,
I have a Swiss watch
I have a Swiss Army knife since I was 10, I found it on the street.
And I regularly drink Swiss Miss Hot chocolate.
…and where would we be if Einstein didn’t have all that time to hang out and think at the Swiss Patent clerk’s office he worked in.
I dunno Legion, your objection to Exxon/Mobil sounds very NIMBYish. And suggesting that there should be gov’t intrusion/regulation on what our beloved corporate titans/heros propose sounds like state takeover of private industry.
Are you a communist?
Vignette from chest-thumping, Swiss caveman working with Donatella on Swiss road show. In Zurich, Donatella gets off train in Zurich, where Mr. Trodglye, (6’2″) meets her, and then walks briskly, VERY briskly ahead of her on cobblestone street, while Donatella tries to keep up in her high heels and pulling luggage on rocky street and then follows Mr. Asshole into a trolly car, hanging on to the bar and pulling luggage into moving trolly car.
This is my thinking. I am VERY FLEXIBLE. But if I am going to be dealing with machismo (I am used to it….I can deal with it) that it has to WORK FOR ME! You want to be an Alpha male, then don’t make me run in my high heels after you and pull my own luggage into a moving trolly.
Like in South America, men may have machismo ideas but they ARE POLITE. NICE. Respectful. I can deal with it.
I also like the Swiss for the simple fact that they chose a flag to represent them that almost equals Canada in terms of lack of creativity and imagination.
1) We didn’t know we had an abundance of it until shale gas technology developed so fast, which is literally in the last 3 years.
2) XOM could give away the gas from its big Middle Eastern LNG project (Qatar) and still make money because of teh associated liquids at current oil prices. As dona said it’s more profitable to sell to Europe and Asia than teh US though.

I am so nice.
etson, I agree with you.
