Training

I did one of those training courses once, where we had two job ads and we had to "read between the lines" each time. One of them was for British American Tobacco, and oh, did I have fun deconstructing that ad.

I think one of the more memorable lines I gave was "A sharp knife is essential for digging into backs, overturning rocks to see what crawls out and cutting the competition's throats, in line with the policies and strategies of a company founded on the slave trade, whose ruthless approach to customer relations decrees that it is acceptable, nay, mandatory, to teach children to smoke cigarettes."

I think there must've been a two metre exclusion zone around me afterwards.
