On Negotiations

'Whatever happened to our merger with that massive international firm?' 'The partners decided to pass on the deal.' 'That seems like an opportunity missed. What happened?' 'We decided it wasn't a fit.' 'Really. Wouldn't that have been determined before negotiations went as far as they did?' 'It came out late in the process. Their negotiating team made their final offer, our negotiating team made its final offer, then they told us to go stick our heads in a pig' 'Perhaps something was lost in the translation?' 'They produced the pig.' 'So I guess I won't be seeing any corporate retirement savings plan matching this year.' 'No, but you'll be enjoying barbecued pork at our next corporate function.'
