9 layoffs is peanuts. Peanuts, I wonder if they have those in the Club Car?

21--Do I know you? Did you find something I had left? Maybe my inside voice?

I'm not telling you how much severance you get. Unless you happen to be on the Acela with me tonight.

Good reading for the Acela! I'll be in the quiet car this time.

LA? Maybe I will lay people off by talking during a movie!

Announcing layoffs on the Internet. Now, I wish I had thought of that!

Announcing layoffs in a tavern. Now, that's a great idea! I wonder if the Acela stops in Newark?

Chicago? I feel like singing about my favorite train line....

Riding on the City of New Orleans,
Illinois Central Friday morning layoffs
Fifteen associates and fifteen restless 3Ls,
Three paralegals and twenty-five secretaries.

I'm going to call my secretary on the telephone and fire her.

The Eurostar is faster than the Acela. Which means I have less time to discuss layoffs during my trip to London.

I would not have called people into conference rooms. I could have just fired them by parking a sound truck outside of the office and reading the names. That's how I roll.

He should have announced it to all of St. Louis from the top of the Gateway Arch!
