WOW, JB should take up comedy, he’s not short of “one-liners” and if you don’t like his quotes at least his laugh will crack you up!! 🙂
I actually don’t find him at all funny and his laugh irratates like a monopoly designed to put many small retailers out of business (think of salt on a wound).
The “breakfast octopus” must be some kind of “inside Amazon” joke as I don’t know of anyone who has any clue what that was about. I wouldn’t be suprised if it was actually some kind of deliberate ploy to gain coloum inches. All it really did is make him look stupid.
I just wish that I was rich enough to be in a helicopter crash!! 🙂
Apparently it was some sort of analogy but that theory seems very high-brow to me.
As regards his “laugh”, do people laugh with him or at him?
Amazon employees are obvioulsy excused from answering, i’m sure they find him very “funny”! 🙂
