ROFL

A wisely anonymous reader writes:

Following my company's Christmas party on Friday, I found myself the proud recipient of... a bobble head doll of the company CEO! Needless to say I was PISSED. They didn't even comp. parking at the site of the party, let alone a bonus. yeah, yeah, times are tough. I should be happy just to have a job. but getting a damn doll of the guy who made 65 million last year just makes me angry. So... What did you get from your Company for Christmas?

Apparently, Oracle is the company in question. And I thought it was impossible to overestimate Larry's ego. Of course, if the spud who submitted this to Slashdot was worth $65 million a year, he would be paid that much. The free market says this guy is worth exactly his salary plus one bobblehead doll. So there. Meanwhile, Larry's yacht is off to the semi-final repechage round after being swept by Alinghi in the semifinals.
