That is, the Marketing Department.

“Derb, some years ago at a previous employer one of our battier corporate

VPs came up with the idea of distributing whistles to our elderly customers

who would use them to alert passers-by in the event of a robbery or an ‘I’ve

fallen and I can’t get up’ scenario. She had several thousand made up and

they were emblazoned with our corporate logo and the words ‘BLOW ME FOR

HELP.’ When presented at a Board meeting for approval our CEO took one look

at a sample whistle, laughed uproariously, and scuttled the whole campaign

right then and there. The whistles were summarily destroyed though a tiny

number survived and became cherished contraband among some employees who

managed to get their hands on them.”
