A guy from the company mailroom makes his rounds through the corporate offices, giving us a tour of the executive suites and the execs in them, his comments resonating in light of the current Wall Street debacle.
We see in one office a man who’s eating pastry while getting his shoes shined. The mailroom employee introduces us to this captain of industry: Mr. Jones who ran the company’s biggest account into the ground.
Next we see a high powered exec in another office: Mr. Smith who gets the big bucks for coming in at 10 and leaving at noon. He has his golf bag full of clubs in hand.
And finally we meet Miss Cowans, whom the mailroom guy describes as being a “terrific lady” who “lost everyone’s pension.” She is in her office, getting a massage from a professional masseuse. Despite her incompetence, the female exec “still gets the big bucks,” says our mailroom guide. “That’s not for me, though. I’m going for Jumbo Bucks.”
A voiceover then introduces us to Jumbo Bucks, the new scratch-off card game from the New York Lottery which offers the chance to win up to $3 million.

Disney Pledges $15 million In L.A. Fire Aid As More Celebs Learn They’ve Lost Their Homes
The Pacific Palisades wildfires torched the home of "This Is Us" star Milo Ventimiglia, perhaps most poignantly destroying the father-to-be's newly installed crib.
CBS cameras caught the actor walking through his charred house for the first time, standing in what was once his kitchen and looking at a neighborhood in ruin. "Your heart just breaks."
He and his pregnant wife, Jarah Mariano, evacuated Tuesday with their dog and they watched on security cameras as the flames ripped through the house, destroying everything, including a new crib.
"There's a kind of shock moment where you're going, 'Oh, this is real. This is happening.' What good is it to continue watching?' And then at a certain point we just turned it off, like 'What good is it to continue watching?'"
Firefighters sought to make gains Friday during a respite in the heavy winds that fanned the flames as numerous groups pledged aid to help victims and rebuild, including a $15 million donation pledge from the Walt Disney Co.
More stars learn their homes are gone
While seeing the remains of his home, Ventimiglia was struck by a connection to his "This Is Us" character, Jack Pearson, who died after inhaling smoke in a house fire. "It's not lost on me life imitating art."
Mandy Moore, who played Ventimiglia's wife on "This Is Us," nearly lost her home in the Eaton fire, which scorched large areas of the Altadena neighborhood. She said Thursday that part of her house is standing but is unlivable, and her husband lost his music studio and all his instruments.
Mel Gibson's home is "completely gone," his publicist Alan Nierob confirmed Friday. The Oscar winner revealed the loss of his home earlier Friday while appearing on Joe Rogan's... Read More
