In the beginning
there was The Plan.
And then came The Assumptions.
And the Assumptions were without form.
And the Plan was without substance.
And darkness was upon the face of The Workers.
And the Workers spoke amongst themselves, saying, "This is a crock
of shit and it stinketh."
And the Workers went unto their Supervisors and said, "It is a pail
of dung, and we can't live with the smell."
And the Supervisors went unto their Managers, saying, "It is a container
of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none may abide it."
And the Managers went unto their Directors, saying, "It is a vessel
of fertilizer, and no one may abide its strength."
And the Directors spoke amongst themselves, saying, "It contains that
which aids plant growth, and it is very strong."
And the Directors went unto the Vice Presidents, saying, "It promotes
growth, and it is very powerful."
And the Vice Presidents went to the President, saying, "This new plan
will actively promote the growth and vigor of the company with very
powerful effects."
And the President looked upon the Plan and saw that it was good.
And the Plan became Policy.
And that my friends, is how.....................Shit happens.
