I remember witnessing
a painful occasion
:38:07
when Tisserand first met Thomassen,
:38:11
a new recruit.
:38:15
Thomassen was Swedish,
:38:16
very tall and very well-built.
:38:21
You felt you were facing
a superman or demigod.
:38:26
Thomassen shook my hand,
:38:29
then went to Tisserand.
:38:32
Tisserand stood up,
:38:34
saw that Thomassen
was 15 inches taller,
:38:39
and promptly sat down,
:38:41
beet-red,
:38:43
with murder in his eyes.
:38:46
It was appalling.
:38:50
Tisserand, thank God,
:38:51
hadn't yet travelled with Thomassen
:38:56
but whenever a training tour
came up,
:38:59
I know the idea of it
:39:01
ruined his sleep.
:39:05
How about a drink
somewhere fun?
:39:15
This way.

favoured by sales reps

in search of classic beats
and easy lays."
