The appetizer alone costs as much as a local judge (generally uneducated) earns in maybe six months...

And the hottest new training device is the offsite, a company- or department-wide session away from the office. But today's offsite isn't a few meetings in a windowless hotel banquet room followed by a round of golf and cocktails.
