    Boss wasn't all that impressed until we printed some for him entitled "Overlord of the Lodge".

    Ha ! I once was told by management that I needed business cards, so duly ordered them. Two weeks later they arrived, all neatly printed with the correct information, company logo etc. A week later we were "restructured" and I was made redundant !

    I ended up handing out the entire boxful to everyone (management included) at the leaving piss-up !

    If you give me one I'll put it in my folder with all the cards of the other important people I interact with.

    I just carry a vivd around and write my details on peoples arms or hands. Then frustration and anger from trying to clean it off a day later scars me into their memory.

    Then after a few days people start asking "What's that on your hand?" and they obviously have to explain it. I call this my extended word of mouth marketing strategy.

    LOL yay business cards - right up there with the title "Manager" and your own cell phone.

    Look behind the scenes and look at what they mean... they all are the company's way of saying "WE OWN YOU". Bu they do feel good when you hit that milestone... it is kinda cool.

    Does anyone know of a wee printer that could print on the back of them though? I reckon there's good money to be made printing a deck of cards on the back of the buggers so there's something to do at conferences.

Maybe I'll give them to all (2) of my friends for Xmas?!

    Ooh! Now you can enter all those draws at cafes and bars - you know, the sort that say 'put your card in here and you can win a **insert lure of choice**'!

    And then you know you're really making it when you start snorting lines of cocaine!

    ... cocaine is god's way of telling you, that you're making way too much money!

    My organisation does not use business cards... makes things too clinical and hospitalised. We are a family and advocate equality.

    Would be nice though.. save me scrolling through my cell phone to find my own number to give to people..
