Ironsides or Ironside?

One of the best business management educations in the world and she is a ground level criminal in two different industries?

MBA - madam - drug lord is far more believable.

Oh, I'm awake ...

I assume Garvin meant to write Ironside, as in the Blair Underwood series remake of the Raymond Burr show — or is the History Channel airing a special on the War of 1812? But then, there weren't any Stanford MBAs back in 1812, were there?  ;)

Agreed.  The preferred MBA career path is pimp, not whore.

While it's a classic nice-work-if-you-can-get-it profession, disintermediation caused by the internet suggests rents will go away and the "pimp" career path will go the way of the classified ad. A truly sharp MBA would further extrapolate that skill-based inequality tends to reward top performers in a given field, suggesting that a more entrepreneurial path is in doing it yourself.

The only time I ever got walked out to my car by a boss was when I resigned from one firm to go to a competing firm, and my boss called me the "most immoral man he knew," for joining a competitor.  I said to him, "Mark, you're recruiting an international tax partner, one who would obviously come from a competitor."  He stared at me for a solid ten seconds then snapped "that's different!"  I said "Really?  So it's okay to be a pimp but not a whore?"

That's when he called security and I was walked to my car.  Ah well, say luh vee.

Why did you write c'est la vie like that? Is there some kind of humor that I'm missing?

WIM, this is the cleverest way I've ever heard to call us MBAs a bunch of wankers.
