Other bankers: “It’s true! We do!”
Hubris: “So, talk to your management abut buying more flags.”

I like this one especially well. (despite the typo. ;1)
Because it’s not a trophy just for Being there… It’s a trophy for Winning.
I’m all for making participants feel good about themselves, but when it comes at the expense of the other people who actually Worked for it, I’m less impressed with the rationale. Maybe I’m just old, but I remember when you had to compete and do more than just be there to get something. Sure, if we lost, our folks might take us out for an ice cream to sooth the sting but it wasn’t the game organisation’s job to do that. [/rant]
And that pretty much speaks for my opinion about bailing failing banks out as well. X1;;
Well they still all supposedly get something, the catered lobster unless Lowell and the Raccoon tribe already surrounded and hijacked the catering van….. or took a good dive into the set up (I still expect Lowell to get a fringed dart in his rump, a tag in his ear, a tracking collar, and hauled miles away and gently released into the woods
how were the bankers suppose to know the rules of the game when they don’t follow any . for after all it said the team that has the most flags wins it did not say how they got them.
Somebody didn’t think it out hard enough did they? it didn’t say anywhere that you had to have your own flag, just as many as you could collect.
MAN I love it.
