I recall a gruff old VP of Manufacturing at a company I was working at quiz a trainee on what we made at that plant. The naive kid ran through a list of all the products like like a happy little puppy. The old VP told him NO! WE MAKE MONEY! He too hit the nail on the head.
God Bless Capitalism!
Yeah, I had the same thing happen with me but, unfortunately, I couldn't let it go. When the VP of the company I worked for replied that the company made money rather than product, I replied that we were therefore in the wrong business - We should be selling illicit drugs and our revenue/profit would then skyrocket.
It wasn't popular with the brass but my peers loved it. Sometimes the humor is worth the punishment.
