When I was in middle school, a guest speaker talked to our class about possible careers in his line of work. In an attempt to ingratiate himself with the audience, he began, "Many people think we're such an old company, but really, we're not. We're actually the same age as Michael Jackson. So, if you just think about how young Michael Jackson is, you've got it." Naturally, given that he was speaking to an audience in its early teens, he was greeted with indifferent stares.
