Globe and Mail Project: #25 WALL STREET EXEC'S OWN THE PODIUM

(click on image to view larger version)
Wall Street executives appointed themselves to the
US Olympic stair-climbing squad yesterday, making
them the first and only Olympians in the newest
demonstration sport.
The four bankers appealed successfully to the IOC,
claiming it was unfair that millionaire hockey players
were eligible for medals, while banking officials
were shut out of the Olympics completely.
As there were no challengers for the stair-climbing
event, the foursome immediately claimed their medals
at the podium then proceeded to the bar.
Welcome to day #25 of the Globe and Mail Project. Each day for three months I'll be taking the scissors and glue-stick to Canada's National Newspaper and editing it for your consumption. Feedback on Blogger or by email is welcome!
