The Flexible Position

A Rigorous and Uncompromised Negotiating Position was employed in a technically legal transaction between the directors of the Royal Bank of Short-Sellers and some Small Government Fanatics who were in their pay.

The Rigorous and Uncompromised Negotiating Position was placed across a table between the two sides, both of whom then proceeded to pull in exactly the same direction. The Royal Bank of Short-Sellers was so heavy with debts to the taxpayer that several of its more enterprising directors had been forced to fill their pockets to overflowing in order to cope with the injury to their pride; while the Small Government Fanatics carried rather more weight than their diminutive significance and utter lack of substance proclaimed.

Thus, at the end of several months' arduous agreement, the Rigorous and Uncompromised Negotiating Position was so flexible that it was able to replace the elastic in the Royal Bank of Short-Sellers' Chief Executive Officer's second-best pair of underpants, thereby lifting a wearisome burden from the shoulders of several million hard-working families.
