#37: McFly

Marty McFly in the Back to the Future movies is the perfect caricature of our own gut reactions to others in life and work. Marty's nemesis, Biff had a recurring line throughout the trilogy: "What's a matter, McFly -- are ya chicken?!" Many of us fall for this kind of challenge all too easily. And what's worse is that clever manipulators are *much* more subtle than Biff. Sri's no replacement for Doc Brown, but he's here to help.
