Ever had a boss who loves his team building activities and "fun" theme days?  The banking & finance team at French firm Ayache Salama & Associes apparently know the feeling -  in the interests of fostering team unity, they've been asked to do a photo shoot variously dressed up as clowns and bound together with a giant red ribbon. We particularly liked the photo captioned  "an available team" -  clients trying to ring through might experience some difficulty.

We must admit that we weren't the first to break this all-important story, and it appears that others have also seen the funny side. It would be a nice to be a fly on the wall at Ayache Salama  as the partnership ponder what will no doubt be a sudden and unaccountable rise in traffic on their website.

Now....where are our plans for the video montage for the 2009 ALB Law Awards....
