Business gurus Jimmy and Jenny Mealworm, who apparently are referred to as the "Bonnie and Clyde" of today's business world, at least by themselves, lectured on their latest book "CEO for Morons" last June 27 in the BC Lecture Hall. For those with an odd sense of humor, the evening would be judged a success; for those seeking to hold the top position in one of today's mega-corporations, perhaps they best look elsewhere.

A light turnout was blamed on summer vacation, but the smattering of attendees did not seem to phase the Mealworms one bit.

They cheerfully launched into a review of the insights detailed in their book, which they personally guaranteed could help almost any aspiring CEO:

• Hire people who agree with you
• The key to Sales? SELL, SELL, SELL
• Leave the product development to the geeks, blame and fire them if it doesn't work out, and
• Raises and bonuses - how to humor 'em

Several successful business persons in the audience challenged the Mealworms', and even received some applause from other audience members in doing so. The Mealworms continued un-phased, however, either ignoring the other's points, responding with their trademark "Says you!", or indicating that their data says otherwise, though they were never able to identify the exact source of their data.

While it may seem that many a CEO is a candidate for this book, we recommend a more traditional MBA-type education for those seeking this path.
