Boys Will Be Boys

A conversation between 3 guys.

Colleague A: We had a potential customer in the name of CIBA Vision.
Colleague B: Oh, what did they do?
Me: They produce contact lenses.
Colleague B: I see. What again? Siba Vision?
Colleague A: (Starting to smirk) Yes, it is spelled C-I-B-A.

(From this moment on, we have to compete for the who-will-be-the-last-to-laugh award)

Colleague B: They pronounce Siba?
Colleague A: (Trying to act dumb) Yea. What do you expect them to pronounce?
Colleague B: Chiba?
Me: Kiba?
Colleague A: Chiba. Some Ah Tu Ah Kau (people with no or little education) will probably ask…Cib*i Vision? When wear edi, can see that one ah?

Nobody won the last-to-laugh award.

Note that:
Colleague A is a married man with 2 kids who is the manager of a certain dept. who works the shit out of him and is hard line serious of his work.

Colleague B is a married man who is so serious in making deals complete that he, as far as I know, never failed..

Moral of the story:
Regardless of status and age, when together, boys will definitely be boys.





Seriously, it's pronounced si-ba right?
