CHIEF AFTERBURN
Steady of nerve and steely of gaze, "The Chief" (as many call him) can be counted on to keep a cool head under pressure.
The last living decendent of the little-known "Corporate Indians", Chief Afterburn is a walking encyclopedia of forgotten native American lore, much of which gave rise to modern America's "corporate culture"....
For instance, did you know the following terms and practices ALL originated with the Chief's forebears?
"Take a meeting"
"When the (buffalo) chips are down"
"What are the numbers?"
"Top-down Re-engineering"
"Down-sizing"
"Out-sourcing"
"Empowerment"
"401-K Plan"
"Casual Fridays"
"Wingtip"
"Panty-waist"
"No guts, no glory"
"Fall back and Punt"
A solid citizen and friend to all, our "Chief" beguiles children of all ages with his clairvoyantly realistic tales of North America before the Age of Merchandising... when the buffalo were many, and no one hungered for more than they could consume at a single campfire sitting.
"The Chief" is also an excellent listener to the troubles of others, and has an endless supply of homilies and little sayings to make those seemingly insurmountable problems evaporate like so much moisture on a desert flower (that's just ONE of his sayings, too! See what we mean?!)
