You're gonna have to flesh that one out.

If you have a businessman who is not the owner of said business, and is someone who thinks he has to be 100% honest, he is his own company's biggest threat.

It's a bit like having no filter. You know people like this should know that they tend to cause controversy because they always say what is on their mind, even if it's something they probably should keep to themselves. So a businessman that always brings out the truth is just as capable as causing controversy as a dishonest businessman.

For example, if Company A is competing on a sealed bid contract, but the customer comes out and directly asks this guy what the bid is prior to all bids being received, and this person feels compelled to be 100% honest and answer the question, then he shoots the company he works for in the foot. The first thing the customer is going to do is tell the competitor Business B that Business A can do it for this much, and then Business B will underbid the contract. I worked with a guy like this and we lost several contracts before we figured out the source of the leak. His response was "Well I have to be honest when asked". He no longer works for the company.

On a further note, the honest businessman may not be privy to all of the information, thus being in his mind honest, may cause more harm than good.

Here is another one for you:

Don't trust a man wearing a better suit than your own.

That makes sense. I've just never ran into a honest business man working for a corporation.
A number of times I've interviewed for a job and my suit was nicer than the ones doing the interviewing. Thank goodness I didn't get hired!
 
Congrats, you should showed what is wrong with the majority of the world and capitalism in general. The old concept that the majority of the human race are 'good' is false. They are good when it serves them, the rest of the time it usually just comes down to convenience.
 
All you need in life is duck tape and WD40...

If it moves and it shouldn't, duck tape it.

If doesn't move and it should, WD40 it.

No matter how good you are at hiding the fact that you had sex with the boss' sister, eventually your boss is going to find out.

1) You do something to piss her off, she tells your boss.
2) Someone else sees you around town with your boss' sister, they will tell your boss.
3) Even if the relationship is great, the boss' sister will want you to meet the family, and more than likely your boss won't be pleased.

But adding to this theme, always have sex with the boss.

Someone once told me to never cheat unless the other person had as much to lose as you do. That would apply to the boss' sister and, probably, the daughter.

I have a lot that I could lose and never be able to replace so fidelity it is.🙂
