The Perp Walk
Former Bear Stearns hedge fund managers were indicted and had to do the walk of shame, in handcuffs, when their attorneys were unable to negotiate a lower-key apprehension.Cow thinks it would be weird to see your former boss paraded off. In all the companies in which she's worked, the higher-ups were imbued with a certain god-like presence, whether earned or not.
And so the mighty fall.
Moo!

This is why the Romans required their generals to listen to a man repeating the words "Remember you are mortal" in their triumphal parade.
I have a couple of former bosses that I could easily imagine doing a perp walk. Of course, that has a lot to do with why they are "former" bosses!
I wonder why you being to think at that level that you can do things you shouldn't?
GB: it was "Remember you're a Womble." It featured greatly in Plutarch's life of Fabius Maximus.
Romans, wombles..my, my, Cow is continually impressed with the literacy of her most gracious bloggers....
Susan, glad you no longer work for them.
Watercolor, Cow sadly has never been in a position of riches, absolute power and temptation so she can only Moo in agreement.
Moo!
What's the point of power if you can't abuse it?
Heh. You should spend a few weeks on the crime beat. LOL
I like the elephant walk better. Or maybe it's just the song.
Verily. The elephant walk, as well as the crime beat, would lend a much better flavor.
Moo!
