Is...Is He Broken?

A man sits wrapped in a blanket with his feet in a hot bucket of water as someone pounds on the door. "You comin', General? The boat's ready!" "I'm coming! I'm coming!" the man grumbles. The man storms out of the house and it's revealed that he's George Washington. "Why is always 'Let George do it!'?"
January 7, 1966
I love the idea that George Washington, a respected and admired leader who has been revered by many in this country for 235 years, absolutely hated being the general. And if he hated being general, then he probably hated being president as well. It's all gold.

Brutus and Veeblefester are standing together in a white void. Veeblefester is angrily looking down at Brutus. "Gee whiz, chief, I'm not looking to break the bank with a pay raise. I just want you to pay me what I'm worth." Veeblefester gets a big, stupid smile on his face and looks at the reader. "Did I say something funny?" Brutus asks.
Someone commented that maybe Brutus' job was due to DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) and I'm just like, DEI, I think, doesn't have anything to do hiring ignorant and stupid people. Also, Veeblefester would never implement DEI practices anyway.

I do like how we are showcasing Veeblefester as a terrible CEO at a time when CEO popularity is at an all-time low.
