Sycophantic lacky didn't ski into hole

THE OBSEQUIOUS deputy manager of a Wilkinsons Hardware store risked his painstakingly-built reputation as a spineless brown-noser this week, when his boss asked him to ski into a hole. During a management team-building holiday in Nantes, Dave Stamen refused consistently to ski into the hole, which looked dark and lethal. Clearly torn between the overwhelming urge to obey and the human instinct not to ski into dangerous holes, Dave (33) cracked after two hours of relentless cajoling and went back to the hotel, where he silently wept. It is unclear at this point whether he will reinvent himself as a rebel, or spend a tortured evening of self-loathing before killing himself by ski-ing down the hole at midnight in a lonely attempt at redemption.
