Double Secret Probation

Lisa just told me about an interview on one of the sunday morning news shows. The new CEO of GM went to a swiss boarding school as a kid, but got into constant trouble. Eventually he was expelled, and his dad had to get involved and pay the school off before he could return.

In recounting his past, the CEO describes says that he "was on double secret probation anyway" when he was temporarily kicked out.

The reporter didn't get the reference, so the CEO of a blue chip company had to explain that double secret probation was a reference to Animal House. :-)


But I was going to write a post about this

Actually, it was Bob Lutz, head of General Motors’ American division.
