Turd in the punchbowlIs another of my personal favorites, slightly akin to green weenie but even more repulsive. It's an ugly problem that pops up suddenly and must be taken care of as swiftly as possible. Although unexpected, it usually isn't hidden like a green weenie. Also, it can refer to something done intentionally in order to foul you up. (See also: Binaca blast for the opposite.)

You'll Never Guess What Happened on the Way to the Bank (45 minutes)
In this unusual presentation, Ron discusses how to handle bankers from a very practical and experienced point of view. Living in a mobile home (eventually it became a double wide) after his dad died, he had no money so he had to borrow on his way to the top. A must-attend presentation for any aspiring entrepreneur.
