All of IBD at Morgan Stanley just got free cannolis at 1585, on John Mack's dime. The subject line alerting the troops to the impending injection of high fructose corn syrup? "Surprise dessert treat." This is what we're talking about, people. Treat your employees like they're valuable members of a team (specializing in Italian pastries) and I guarantee you it'll get results.

And later this week they'll be getting something else that's tubular and full of "sfacim'" all right...

Rumor is that Mack funded the Canolis by selling a 20% equity stake because the pastry store wouldn't face MS as a credit counterparty.
Posted by guest , Oct 22, 2008 3:46PM
Bess, a good cannoli does not have high frutcose corn syrup. It should be fresh, delicious sweet riccota cheese.

Anyone here see Van Wilder? That's a whole lotta John Mack man-goo in those cannolis

Cannoli is plural. It doesn't need an "s".
Posted by guest , Oct 22, 2008 6:36PM
@31 once again guest is giving out bad information.
The correct plural spellings are as follows.
Cannolis for two but more than two Cannolis' -but you must own them-.
Datas -no restrictions-.
Mooses for two but more than two Moosies -ownership is not needed as is the case with Cannolies.

Thanks for the huge pay packet. Sorry about the shitty risk management, lack of bonuses and all that worthless stock we gave you instead of cash.
Have a Cannoli!

Bonuses what bonuses the Cannolis'are the bonus
