"We all pretended to not notice the rotten egg smell around us, I knew I had no chance of getting asked to the next round.... It wasn't like when three strangers are in an elevator and one farts and no one except the culprit knows who farted. This was clear. I went to the bathroom and stunk up the joint. However, the next interviewee would probably think that one of the interviewers from Bear took the crap. That made me feel good".

Nice quote... Another goodie:
"Creation of a pitch book for bubbles was approached by analysts and associates alike as an activity akin to the illumination of a holy manuscript by medieval monks."
Can't remember the exerpt off by heart, but it was when one of them was being interviewed and when asked why IB he replyed "I'm a masochist". I use that all the time now.
"It was like listening to Warren Buffet on acid."
"Legend had it that among the junior bankers at Lehman he'd been the most reviled man on staff, and upon his departure the entire analyst class had thrown a party where the collective level of joy approached that at Christ's resurrection."
LMAO that was a good one. The holiday bash where he peed his pants was a classic too.
One of my fav's too!
