I got the key, but who changed the lock?

A woman got on a public transport bus holding a baby.

The bus driver said: "That's the ugliest baby I've ever seen." In a huff, the woman shouted at the driver and walk to take an aisle seat near the rear of the bus. The man seated next to her sensed that she was agitated and asked her what was wrong.

"The bus driver insulted me," she fumed.

The man sympathized and said "Why, he's a public servant and shouldn't say things to insult passengers."

"You're right," she said. "I think I'll go back up there and give him a piece of my mind."

"That's a good idea," the man said. "Here, let me hold your monkey"

Advertising is an art ... and the degree of success depends on the type of relation which the advertising agency and the clients enjoy... and client servicing is the crux...a play of diplomacy and wizadry.. often of brazenness and smiles. Just like any other relationships, a lot of compromises do invlove in the client agency relation , to make it go on....

And the ugly baby?? well.. clients do jump sometimes in search of better agencies, or circulate brands among various agencies in their roster.. from the driver to the co passenger, reducing the ugly baby to a monkey...

Clients regret, agencies regret.. and sigh that we should have compromised...

Even well established client -agency relation ships sometimes suddenly gets rocked and end in ugly splits... longevity isnt a criteria for understanding each other, any longer...

And by the time i got the key, i find some one has changed the lock...
