oh ye 

  very true

True, oh so true 

In the beginning was the Plan.

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 among themselves, saying, "This is a crock of sh*t and it stinks"

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's very strong, such that none may abide it"

And the Managers went unto their Directors, saying, "It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength"

And the Directors spoke among themselves, saying to one another, "It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong"

And the Directors went to the Vice President, saying unto them, "It promotes growth and it is very powerful"

And the Vice President went to President, saying unto him, "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 sh*t happens.
