THE BUSINESS PLAN
 
In the beginning was the plan
And then came the assumptions
 
And the assumptions were without form
And the plan was completely without substance
And the darkness was upon the face of the Employees
 
And they spoke amongst themselves saying,
Its is a crock of shit and it stinks."
 
And the Employees went unto their Supervisors saying,
"It is a pail of dung and none may abide the odor thereof."
 
And the Supervisors went unto their Managers saying,
"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 saying,
"It is a vessel of fertilizer and none may abide its strength."
 
And the Directors went unto their Executive Directors saying,
"It contains that which aids plant growth and it is very strong."
 
And the Executive Directors went unto the General Manager saying,
''It promotes growth and is very powerful."
 
And the General Manager went unto the Board of Directors saying,
"This plan will actively promote the growth and
efficiency of this organization and these areas in particular."
 
And the Board of Directors looked upon the plan and saw
that it was good and the plan became policy.
 
This is how shit happens.
