"What's that noise? Is everything alright?" (The boss needs private time.)

"It's very easy to have too many goals and be overwhelmed by them... The trick is to find the one thing you can focus on that represents every other single thing you want in life." -- @"Edmundo Braverman"
 

Blue Shirt: "Hey, baws. We fixed the font on page 78, and we think you're gonna like it."

Yellow Shirt: looks up "Sapphire's closed tonight, isn't it?"

Blue Shirt: "Yeah, why?"

Yellow Shirt: "Let's give him 10 minutes."

 

I guess those strippers shouldn't have been billed to the client

Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker.
 

So this is where they got the idea for the obamacare website from...

"The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the streets." -John D. Rockefeller
 

"Well done, Bob, well done " "Yes, step one in improving analysts work hours is complete - go ahead and tell the press" "This will increase retention rates at Goldman for sure!"

 

"...isn't this where the banking interview was supposed to be?"

Frank Sinatra - "Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy."
 

Fuck off!

When a plumber from Hoboken tells you he has a good feeling about a reverse iron condor spread on the Japanese Yen, you really have no choice. If you don’t do it to him, somebody else surely will. -Eddie B.
 

"Hmmm... That's strange. He said it was ok to swing by and talk about how to switch from commercial banking to investment banking."

 

Patrick is going to win his own t-shirt.

These are fucking atrocious.

Ya, HR departments are only doing these things.

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.
 

"Well, I guess it beats a bake-off. You want top or bottom?"

Teach a man to make a fire, he'll be warm for the night. But set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
 

"You think he's still alive in there? It's been about 3 days."

Frank Sinatra - "Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy."
 

@AndyLouis and @Commuter ask Patrick for a raise.

"For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen."
 

"This must be the congressional hearing green room..."

"Yeah, I heard Dimon stuck that there last year, Sebelius had the option to take it down..."

 

Did anyone else notice that the thread title is "WSO Caption Content"? I feel like this might be like that video where the people are passing around a basketball and you are asked to count the number of passes made. Half the people miss the gorilla walking through the court.
