This is why I like my boss

She walks into my office, sees a 5" steel nut/bolt combo I got from our bridge engineer Bo Cung about a month ago, and says, "So, I see you're still hanging onto Bo's big old nuts."

Damn, you guys stole Bo as well? Hell, how many ex-DART folk actually work over there?

You know Bo Cung?

He works for HNTB engineering firm, actually, so he works for us as a consultant. He built the toll bridge!

Bo also built a lot of the light rail system. I met him early on when I was working for DART's spokesman: Morgan Lyons.

It's probably not a good idea to have a name that sounds like "lying" when you're a spokesperson. . . :)
