Fired, and divorced by wife of >50 yrs, big settlement coming, and removed from the board of Paccar.

I wonder if she was worth it...

Lew Platt? Wasn't he the HP boss back in the late 90s? I'm pretty sure he was. That's when I worked there, just before Carly unleashed the hounds of mediocrity into the HP workplace.

Lew's alright. You're better off.

once you marry her, she's no longer considered a hook up.

That be he.
Boeing says Harry won't get his 2005 incentive bonus.
He'll only get $2.5 million bonus for '04, $800k/year pension and 1.7 million shares of stock. Poor baby.

Well, Bruce, I guess you'll have to prepare yourself for an additional two days a year of sensitivity training ...

No, ethics training. Sensitivity is another whole kettle of fish.
