Reminds me of this, which I heard 45 years ago when, as an instructor, I taught Computer Science.
The professor sprang a surprise on his students by giving them a quiz with particularly difficult questions. As he collected the answer sheets, he asked, "How do you like my little quizzie?"
One student replied, "If that is one of your quizzies, I would hate to see your testes."

Nah . . . they'll stop any such stock decline by using the employee pension fund and 401K to increased demand for the stock.*

Not really - CEOs tend to be rewarded with options not outright stock.
No downside risk.

In contrast, I was at the Titanic exhibition and found this amazing book about how they put ships together back then.
It was riveting.

I read a book on the carpeting used in the offices. It covered the subject very well.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
