Some feedback from Joy about my “what if companies were people” question (more to follow). My comments in italics:

- Companies would have sex. (AOL/Time Warner merger?)

- Companies would graduate from high school and go to college. (going IPO?)

- Companies would get married and have babies. (AT&T splitting up into the Baby Bells?)

- Companies would go on vacation. (corporate retreats?)

- Companies would get drunk. (Coca-Cola introducing New Coke?)

- Companies would get a DUI. (Big Tobacco getting sued and fined?)

- Companies would get in car accidents. (eToys stock going into the sewer over the Etoy.com flap?)

- Companies would die of old age. (little Mom ‘n Pop stores that get run out of business by the likes of Wal-Mart and Barnes & Noble?)
