Toilet Break

It's very rare to see men chatting openly in the toilet. And even more unusual it is conducted over the urinals!


I happened to visit the washroom when the brass at some management meeting were having a toilet break and overheard them discussing the government's forecast on the economy. (Come on, these are men! You don't expect them to be talking about last night's episode of Campus Superstar, right?)


Anyway, it was a perculiar conversation to hold in a perculiar environment...


A: Wah, the growth forecast this quarter is dropping to minus 5%. So drastic ah...


B: Do you think the government's growth forecast was the truth or just managing expectations?


A: (Laughs) Maybe it's the managed truth?


Lesson Learnt: Don't talk too much in the toilet.
