Keeping it in the family?

My two train-journey-neighbours have just departed – senior managers en route to a bid presentation, amazingly indiscreet, as people so often are on public transport. I’ve been entertained for the past two hours with a full account of their proposed solution, as they’ve polished up their PowerPoints and fortified themselves with free coffee.

Just before they left, the older of the two confided in his colleague: “Have I mentioned that the chair of the evaluation committee is my brother-in-law’s girlfriend’s dad?”

As grounds for optimism, it’s not the strongest win strategy I’ve ever heard, but I’m guessing that the bid plan might feature him taking his wife over to see her brother for a family reunion this coming weekend!
