A couple of days ago, our CFO, J. Pino (actual phonetic pronunciation of his name, but not the correct spelling so I can to protect the innocent – mainly, me and my job), announced that, henceforth, all salaried people will have to swipe their security card to get in and out of the building. Mr. Pino said that this new procedure was not to track our comings and goings at work, but to ensure our safety. (Since this new protection policy does not apply to the hourly people, I can only assume that they must be expendable.)
So as we, the trusting, salaried employees, sat there and looked at each other, we couldn't help but wonder if there was a silent part to Mr. Pino's name, such as “chino”.
Of course, there is a difference between Pinocchio and our CFO. Pinocchio is a wooden creature whose nose moves when he lies. While Mr. Pino, also a wooden creature, only has to move his lips.
