Boss is standing on a street corner wearing a jester cap.
   Boss: "Ho ho ho! Down with billionaires! Destroy the businesses and
   governments! Merry christmas! Happy solstice!"
    A pedestrian walks by.
   Boss: "Pedestrian, let me tell you about this wealthy and powerful
   group of people using mind control to enslave arbitrary civilians. I'm
   one of them, even!"
    The pedestrian tries hard to avoid Boss's eyes, thinking he is trying
   to sell him something ridiculous.
   Pedestrian: "I don't want your new insurance plan! And I'm all out of
   pennies! Leave me alone!"
   Boss: "No, I have something to give to you! I'm in disguise. I have the
   keys to the militaries of every country, and their secret services
   too!"
    Pedestrian: "You're a raving lunatic!"
    Boss: "Try it yourself, and see what you say."
    Boss: "I give this pedestrian complete control of my global empire for
   24 hours! Anything they will, make it so!"
