A company, which shall remain nameless, recently held a big
conference at the Excelsior Hotel in Hong Kong.
That gathering was announced for all and sundry on a bulletin board at
the lobby.
And it attracted a great deal more of attention than it really should
have. Why? Because the conference, which focused on strategy and
marketing, was unwittingly billed as an "S&M meeting".
Vine has just one question: "Was this gathering opened only to company
chief whips?"
