lion food

n. [IBM] Middle management or HQ staff (or, by extension, administrative
drones in general). From an old joke about two lions who, escaping from the
zoo, split up to increase their chances but agree to meet after 2 months.
When they finally meet, one is skinny and the other overweight. The thin one
says: How did you manage? I ate a human just once and they turned out a
small army to chase me guns, nets, it was terrible. Since then I've been
reduced to eating mice, insects, even grass. The fat one replies: Well, I
hid near an IBM office and ate a manager a day.
