Thank you … Thank you very much uh … please …. you may be seated. Well uh this sure is some going away party. Gosh … Where DOES the time go ? I mean let me just say at the start I really uh … I’m sorry… Please don’t be nervous I uh guess I’m just a bit emotional today. I mean WOW I can’t believe it ! After all these years I guess I really am retiring! But you see at a time like this words, words hardly seem … adequate I mean I have so many uh memories of this place but you know they say that in life there are drivers and there are passengers and I guess well uh guys like me are just trying to hitch a ride. No really really I know that most of you have known me to be a Big softy, a Loyal Company Man who has spent his whole career at the bottom as a cheerful giver even after I was repeatedly passed over for that promotion that you promised, I mean a promotion I might add , that I worked hard for. But, as all of you know, I can proudly say that I never once missed a day not even after management took away my office and gave it to that new guy.But hey I understand I mean I uh, well lets face it I guess I was of a grade of meat that never quite got tender I mean… that is to say I did not impart that fresh seasoned flavor of a uh choice cut and, and yes I know that a lot of you have even likened me to chopped liver. But folks I did give my life to this… this … Fucking Company and and well uh today with the help of this AK and this 9mm Smith and Wesson I have in my hand there are many of you (and i think you know who you are) who are going to give your life too….so … well … (click) … oh sorry sorry -the safety was on.
