We had a company come in to pitch some technical training. The company was named "Element K" ( a quick google shows them to still be around). Their first presentation slide asked the question "What is Element K?" I gleefully broadcast to the room "Potassium!" No one laughed. Not even the Element K people. Sadly, not because they were sick of hearing that, but rather in a befuddled "We don't get it" way. Wow. From a technical training company. And you want to be my latex salesman!?!?!?!?!?
