In the beginning was the plan, and then came the
assumptions, and the
assumptions were without form. And the darkness was upon
the face of
the workers and they spoke amongst themselves saying "It is
a crock of
shit, and it stinketh."
And the workers went unto their supervisors and
sayeth "It is a pail of dung and none may abide the odor
thereof."
Andthe supervisors went unto their managers and
sayeth unto them "It is a
container of excrement and it is very strong, such that none may
abide
by it."
And the managers went unto their directors and
sayeth "It is
a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide by its strength."
And the directors spoke amongst themselves,
saying on to another
"It contains that which aids plant growth and it is very
strong."
And the directors went unto the vice presidents
and sayeth unto them
"it promotes growth and is very powerful."
And the vice presidents wentunto the president
and sayeth unto him "this new plan will actively promote
the growth and efficiency of the company, and these areas in
particular."
And the president looked upon the plan and saw
that it was good, and the
plan became policy.
This is how shit happens.
