What a CEO Really Wants

Another joke by Warren Buffett.
Though Enron has become the symbol for shareholder abuse, there is no shortage of egregious conduct elsewhere in corporate America.
One story I’ve heard illustrates the all-too-common attitude of managers toward owners: A gorgeous wman slinks up to a CEO at a partyand through moist lips purrs, “I’ll do anything – anything – you want. Just tell me what you would like.”
With no hesitation, he replies, “Reprice my options.“
