Gilligan Snue was named Top Sales Rep for suture products at the annual sales conference held by a veterinary pharmaceutical company. His prize was a piece of construction paper with his name on it, and the opportunity to stand on stage with the Vice President of Sales and Marketing. He was allowed to say nothing. Just stand there and smile. Gilligan Snue, top sales dog.
The conference went on as pharma sales conferences do, with the attendees committing more sins than were necessary to condemn both Sodom and Gomorrah combined. The primal beat set the tone for the Gala Event that always takes place on the last night. The lies, treachery, the utter wickedness reaching dreadful heights. Gilligan Snue went to bed early. A long flight would bring him back to the world of family, home and work in the morning. His construction paper prize pressed neatly in his briefcase at his side. Perhaps he put it up on the 'fridge next to his daughter's drawing. Perhaps he wiped his butt with it. No one knows what he did with it, really.
But Gilligan Snue was top sales rep at the dog pharma firm. A life well spent.
