ABC sells widgets

Let me ask you something… If a widget is a small computer application, what do business schools use as a fictional product for a company to sell? I can see a lot of “who’s on first” routines going on. “Let’s say that ABC company sells 1,000 widgets in their first month of business.” “Oh, so they are a software company?” “No, not necessarily, they sell widgets.” “Yes, that’s what I thought. They write software.” This circular conversation could go on for a while until either the crotchety old professor realized that now a widget is an actual thing or until the young student realized that a widget is a fictional, generic item that old crotchety professors use to symbolize a random product. The generational gap could really cause some confusion here.

So, how is everybody’s NCAA brackets looking? Well, I’m sure everybody’s fake bracket is doing great (sure, I picked Kansas to lose too!) Again, just crumple them up and throw them away, no one cares who you picked…
