the hawaii chair needs to be added to this poll

Is that his maman? I'd love to let her do at little sit n spin on my lap on an hawaiian chair.

wow, he really does looks like Liev Schreiber...

Hawaii Chair ad :35 to :50=future work environment at which firm?

I'm gonna go with black thigh-highs, most likely w/garter

@1:09 - that's his lawyer, and she looks like she'd strap you into that chair and make you eat it. You know you want that creme brule.

Too bad it wasn't a $70 billion loss. There is no such thing as risk management at some of these IB's. Short 'em while you can, the foundations are starting to crumble.. ;)

@ bsd

Wait, is his lawyer "Max," the arms dealer from Mission Impossible?

Risk management is hard when you only have M+ and M- on your handheld solar calculator... makes those involved quantifications tricky, so you just simplify to y = mx + b

Ohhh.. guy wears a checkered shirt and all of the sudden he is a tool. Deal Breaker's catty, sarcastic, misplaced jealousy-type humor is wearing thin. Get a real job and stop critiquing others.

REGARDE MA CHEMISE RAYEE!

She just asked him if he "really" wants that promotion. He's thinking about it. Exchanging bodily fluids with her for an extra $35,000 per year? But I got to make that mortgage payment? I can't decide... What if someone at the firm finds out?

@tired

I want to draw an X and Y axis on the checkered shirt you're no doubt wearing

@ tired: are you that dense, dude? it has less to do with the shirt and more to do with the fact that he's a fucking criminal, worthy of ridicule.

moron, what are you talking about? Look at that shirt??

@ you all. Eat a dick.

It would be better if the shirt was patterned in Log or Semi-Log, then we could determine the magnitude of the situation.

you know, i happen to think a tasteful checkered shirt breaks the monotony of solid pastels day in and day out.

they make shirts patterend in Log and Semi-Log?

is this a new canuck fashion we have not received down south in the U.S. yet?

The latest in French high-fashion engineering wear...

that is so sweet.

...or a tasteful sweater vest over it? Or a full size sweater...then just a dickey.

Is it true that the gays on wall street usually try to wear plaid and checked shirts so as not to betray their status as members of the fashion-conscious group that they are?

We used to do that, until we figured out that it was silly. Our lisps and funny walks gave us away.... NOT

The reality is that I'll bet you'd be hard pressed to pick out the gay guys.

Duh dude that's why I'm asking. I thought it sounded a little far fetched but you never know.

But look I think we all know that one guy in the office who dresses just a little too well...

HAHAHAHAHA! Beautiful.

French guys ALWAYS wear suit pants. Even when they are wearing jeans.

@ 2:19

classic

her left toe is in his asshole in that picture

I think this looks like a still from an actual movie:
Woman: Do you still find me attractive, Jerome?

@3:05 You a little intrigued by him maybe? Could see yourself doing it with a hard body for a change? Try it out - guys are animals, which makes it extra hot.

Let me help you with one out of the gay playbook: see if he looks you in the eye, checks you out, notices you. Straight guys look THROUGH other guys, hardly notice them. Gays look deep INTO other guys, check them out. Its all in the eyes.

Good luck.

Gaynalyst not to doubt your credentials here but cmon you mean to tell me you are checking out allthe dudes in your office so hard that they would notice if they tried? I mean isn't it usually like the equivalent to you of working in an office filled with ugly girls would be for me? Like, I know in the back of my mind if I got drunk enough I would go at it with two of them at once but I wouldn't spend my sober or work time thinking about it or checking them out

@3:38 Its hard to explain, but it takes like one second. There's no drag on productivity. Their eyes meet yours and its clear that you're both thinking "would I have sex with this dude?". Happens at work, on the subway, in the street, at the gym. Doesn't mean you're gonna have sex, just that you're checking each other out and have therefore figured out that each other is gay.

Well, thanks for the insight. It is possible I am either not perceptive enough or not desirable enough to ever know for sure.

Sheesh. Scared to look anyone in the eyes now for fear of giving the wrong impression!

4:18 I doubt there's a problem of desirability or perception - you're just straight. You're checking out women, who are usually not the sexual animals men are, so it would be rare to feel the same vibe that you would if you were playing the game with another guy and he turned out to be gay.

I wonder which is more likely to result in some sort of harassment complaint in my office, making deep eye contact with all the women or all the men.

@4:45 Again, I said it was hard to explain. Nothing deep at all. Split second, your eyes meet his. BANG - you sense you're both thinking the same thing - would I have sex with this dude?

Don't even bother if you're straight. Women don't think like that unless they're the rare total slut. Its a guy thing, cause guys are animals. So therefore the spark happens only when both of you are gay. Its that simple.

That's why I look into eyes in the men's room. I'm not gay but I want to know who may be having sex in the stall later so I can avoid my wide stance.

Lads,
Check shirts are a French thing, as are weird looking green blazers. Since I am not a fasihion expert (gosh I still wear a blue blazer - dated 1999) I can not fault our "poor boy"" Jerome for what he wears.

And yes, he is a poor guy, This guy is a fall-guy "par excellence"". No-one said anything when P&L was good, only when things went sour did they react.

No how does not matter. SocGen is gone, should have happened in 99. All the incompetent "directeurs"will be fired - very good. SocGen does have alot of talent, they will survive (as they should)

I always wanted a log or semi-log patterned shirt! A Smith chart patterned one would be the ultimate in Electrical Engineering fashion circles.

sans-Tshirt too.. Tacky
