A man calls home to his wife and says, "Honey, I have been asked to fly to Canada with my boss and several of his friends for a fishing trip. We'll be gone for the long weekend. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting so could you please pack enough clothes for a 3 day weekend. And also would you get out my rod and tackle box from the attic? We're leaving at 4:30 from the office and I will swing by the house to pick my things up. Oh, please pack my new navy blue silk pajamas.”
The wife thinks this sounds a bit odd, but, being the good wife, she does exactly what her husband asked.
Following the long weekend, he came home a little tired, but, otherwise looking good. The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish? He says, “Yes, lots of Walleyes, some Bass, and a few Pike.” He said, “But why didn't you pack my new blue silk pajamas like I asked you to do?” The wife replies, "I did. They're in your tackle box."
Other than this being a cute story – this is a reminder to remember that in business and in life - integrity is everything. The key thing to remember if you are not into integrity is to think about how many people will be told that you conned one person.
