Hello, Michela. I have no idea about business schools, but Rondey Dangerfield is a guy who some people think is a comedian. He has a line that has become widely known, through ads on TV, etc. He says, looking around plaintively, " I can't get no respect".

::tugging on tie while looking around plaintively::
I don't get no respect. I joined Gambler's Anonymous. They gave me two to one I don't make it.
I don't get no respect. I called Suicide Prevention. They tried to talk me into it.
I don't get no respect. I told my psychiatrist I got suicidal tendencies. He said from now on I have to pay in advance.
I tell ya I get no respect from anyone. I bought a cemetary plot. The guy said, "There goes the neighborhood!"
I get no respect at all. I donated to a sperm bank. Now I'm the father of three puppies.
Hope this helps!

Buon giorno...Michelab fyi
Chairman Leaps tall buildings in a single bound Is more powerful than a locomotive Is faster than a speeding bullet Walks on water Talks with God
President Leaps short buildings in a single bound Is more powerful than a switch engine I faster than a speeding BB Walks on water if the sea is calm Talks with God if special request is approved
Executive Vice President Leaps short buildings with a running start and favorable winds Is almost as powerful as a switch engine Can fire a speeding bullet Walks on water in an indoor swimming pool Is occasionally addressed by God
Vice President Barely clears a Quonset hut Loses tug-of-war with a locomotive Can sometimes handle a gun without inflicting self injury Swims well Talks to animals
Manager Makes high marks on the wall when trying to leap buildings Is run over by a locomotive Is not issued ammunition Dog paddles Talks to walls
Supervisor Runs into buildings Recognizes a locomotive two out of three times Wets himself with a water pistol Can't stay afloat without a life preserver Mumbles to himself
SECRETARY Lifts Buildings and walks under them Kicks locomotives off the tracks Catches speeding bullets in her teeth Freezes water with a glance She is God.......
(I don't know who originally put this piece together but it appeared on our bulletin board during Secretaries Week and I thought it might help you define the characters in your business journal....Si?
