Story from another board...liar,liar.
CEO Who Cried Shorts!!
There once was a CEO who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the stagnate PPS. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Shorts Shorts! The Shorts are chasing the PPS. down!!
The shareholders came running up the hill to help the CEO drive the Shorts away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no Shorts. The CEO laughed at the sight of the shareholders angry faces.
"Don't cry 'Shorts', CEO," said the Shareholders, "when there's no Shorts!" They went grumbling back down the hill.
Later, the CEO sang out again, "Shorts, Shorts! The Shorts are chasing the PPS. down!" To his naughty delight, he watched the shareholders run up the hill to help him drive the shorts away.
When the shareholders saw no shorts they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really some shorting! Don't cry 'Shorts' when there is NO Shorts!"
But the CEO just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.
Later, he saw a REAL Shorts, shorting his stock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Shorts! Shorts!"
But the shareholders thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come.
At sunset, everyone wondered why the CEO hadn't returned to the village with their higher PPS. They went up the hill to find the CEO. They found him weeping.
"There really was really shorts here! The shareholders have scattered! I cried out, "Shorts!" Why didn't the shareholders believe me?"
An old CEO tried to comfort the younger CEO as they walked back to the village.
"We'll help you look for the angry shareholders in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!"
