JohninKansas... I spent much time training staff during my career and the things used in the sketch amuse me so much.... Working for the EAC? don't know who they are... GCAMC.. don't know either... who are they???

I can't really decide if it's funny or not. It actually sounds too much like working for EAC where the business was run by real pirates for comfortable listening; although it might have been plausible at GCAMC where nobody seemed to care or agree who was in charge.

Maybe I'll have to listen again (a few times?).

It went well. We had about 50 in the audience. We did a few minor rewrites and changes in timing and had the "boy" come in from offstage. We thought about having him up in the rigging but were worried that he might fall.

Training Days, communication skills etc etc were all part of my management brief in Child Care so it is quite a poignant piece of humour for me!!

They have their own pension scheme: Prosper or die!

I'm sharing this with some friends.

I learned a whole lot.

Excellent training unit. I wonder if the Somali pirates would be interested in such a workshop. Surely they are in need of some prime time consulting.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
