I wanted to write about the stoopidnees that goes on in the corporate world. Real life experiences of the keystone capers going on in all those office buildings we walk by everyday. Unfortunately, I cannot name and shame the companies and organisations involved as most of them have a legal machine waiting to sue anyone for telling truth. The hardest part was coming up with a concept that encapsulated the whole thing. In the end I've decided to use Aesop's approach to story telling with something symbolising success in the corporate world hence the words 'blue chip'.
The word "fable" comes from the Latin "fabula" (a "story"), itself derived from "fari" ("to speak") with the -ula suffix that signifies "little": hence, a "little story". Though in its original sense "fable" denotes a brief, succinct story that is meant to impart a moral lesson, in a pejorative sense, a "fable" may be a deliberately invented or falsified account of an event or circumstance. A blue chip stock is the stock of a well-established company having stable earnings and no extensive liabilities. The term derives from casinos, where blue chips stand for counters of the highest value.[1]
