Potterdam and his little barrels


Me and my buddy always laughed at Potterdam's little toy barrels in this movie, because he obviously fidgets with them all the time, as every scene in his office the barrels are in a new position. It's kind of funny to think about what if it's common for a business owner to have little plastic miniature toys of whatever the business produces.

I've seen it quite a few times. When I delivered Organs and pianos, the CEO had miniatures of the organs on his desk. When I worked for a toy company, the CEO had best selling games in his office. When I worked at Wells Fargo, it was common to see covered wagons in higher up offices.

Funniest thing I saw: there was a manager who got a 40 year award at Wells Fargo. It was a clear resin design. It had a square base with an enlongated egg shape on top. The egg had a flower encased in it.

I guess that's just a little detail I've never noticed.
