Who is this Bromkin?
I work in a sales office. Whenever you get a deal in you have to bang a big Rank esque gong. It’s a tad embarrassing.

One of the lads in the office, who we’ll call Bromkin to protect his identity, was under a load of pressure to hit his target. In fact he was on performance review and if he didn’t get to his target he was gonna get sacked. It got to the last day of the month and he needed one more deal……it got to 5.25 and he miraculously got a deal in. Everyone was cheering for him, high fiving him as he proudly strutted towards the gong. He picked up the stick, swung back his arm and with all of his might struck out and completely missed the 4 ft high gong. The whole office broke into tears of laughter.

To this day, whenever I’m feeling down, I think of that moment and smile. It was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen (except for when my Mrs accidentally electrocuted a pig…..which is another story).

"Here's your desk, phone, computer"

"OK, ta."

"Coffee from the machine over there, there's water in the cooler by the door"

"Great, thanks"

"When you make a sale, you go and bang that big gong over there"

"go fuck yourself".

We used to ring a little china bell when we made a sale
Not quite the same as a gong...

If you're in sales you're a glorified mugger.
You'd be better employed sucking sailors' cocks or mugging people who actually have money as opposed to the singled-out-for-abuse people the database contains.

It's a little better than that....
....I relieve big corporations of their cash, not little people.

That sounds like a plan.
Well done...

Thank God we don't have a gong;
