DOUBLE TEAM: Steve Harris, Executive Vice President, Cascade Microtech, Inc., and Frank Averdung, President & CEO, Süss MicroTec AG

The rules of this game are you squeeze TIGHTER AND TIGHTER until one of you has to say "My product is inferior" and sign a statement to that effect.



The one on the right's fighting to suppress a pained grimace. If anyone's still taking bets this late in the game, stick £10 on Harris to close this one out within the next 30 seconds.

DOUBLE TEAM: Ugo Cosentino, Vice President Operational Business Strategy (left) and Albert Bourla, President, Pfizer Animal Health, Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific

The friendly faces of Pfizer's drive to convince Americans they need to buy medicine for their pets. Yes, MEDICINE FOR THEIR PETS.



The one on the left has been snorting ground-up dog worming tablets all morning. They de-worm dogs, and make humans feel INVINCIBLE and very funny.

DOUBLE TEAM: Adolfo Henriques (left), Chairman of Board of Directors, and Steven Hayworth Founder and CEO, Gibraltar Private Bank and Trust

A perfect pairing - one's got too much face at the bottom, while the other's got too much face at the top. One's a bit too big, the other's a bit too small. One instinctively rotates to the left, one instinctively rotates to the right.



Perhaps this meeting was arranged so they could breed?

DOUBLE TEAM! Carl Roehling, President & CEO, SmithGroup, and Robert L. Shaw, President, F&S Partners

Ahh, they're leaning into each other. The cheerful body language matches the positive cost-saving synergies soon to be realised by their businesses working more closely together in the creative ideaspace.

INT. NIGHT
Busy bar scene. Two men in suits are swaying from drunkenness on bar stools.

CARL
Honestly, Rob, I tell you, right. We're gonna... we're gonna...

ROB
Crush their asses!

CARL
Yeah, man. Like, liquidise their asses!

ROB
Liquidise their assets!

CARL
And that!

ROB
Oh, man. Awesome. Can I have another go on the poppers?

DOUBLE TEAM! Mike Moody, President, Newmark Homes Houston, and Lonnie Fedrick, Chairman, Newmark Homes Houston

They're cleverly standing far enough apart that the other one could easily be cropped out of the photo, should a difficult boardroom power struggle result in one of them stabbing the other in the back and having them booted out.

"Yeah, lean back, ASSHOLE. Rotate your torso away from mine, DICKWEED. You'll be cropped the hell out of this BITCH after next Wednesday's management meet."

We did an all-day training course on libel laws in about 2002, and can't remember if it'd be OK to suggest Mike is probably Lonnie's secret love child borne by his personal assistant in 1967, hence his suspiciously rapid rise through the ranks of Newmark Homes.

If Lonnie Googles himself in his lunch break he'll go BALLISTIC. If anyone from Newmark Homes hears chairs being thrown around in Lonnie's office, please drop us a line and we'll delete it all. Lonnie's not going to know how to retrieve cached versions.
