Fortune 742 Finance?!?!?

I have a proposition:

When you are referring to your company as "Fortune X", X is only allowed to be 1000, 500, 100, 50 or 10. Anything else is toolish. Again, Fortune 1000, Fortune 500, Fortune 100, Fortune 50 or Fortune 10 are OK (though frankly, 50 and 10 are questionable).

Fortune 200, Fortune 700, Fortune 20, Fortune 4381 are NOT.

Deal?

EDIT: for some reason people are talking about their dicks now...

This begs the ultimate question, who the fuck would say F740 or something weird like that in the first place?

'Before you enter... be willing to pay the price'
 

^^^ i'm exaggerating, but i've seen weird multiples of 100, like 200 or 600.

i think these are funny because if someone is saying "600", they clearly mean 501-600.

maybe i should add 20 and 250 to the "OK" list though...

Clearly whoever is saying it is in a dick-measuring contest and must be super exact about his/her company's size as to communicate the amount of prestige that his/her position has...poor souls.

WSO in its entirety is a dick-measuring contest. GMAT scores, GPA's, BB's, elite Boutiques, Ivy League - this is all you see people talk about. Not saying it's wrong but that's what it is..
