( _DDN[INFO-VAX@SRI.COM] ) Subject: Light Humor II Well, I just got done reading the message about IBM mice, and as a former DEC FE, I thought it was absolutely hilarious. I'm in such a good mood now that I must send this blurb that I received about a month ago... 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 Workers and they spoke among 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 by the odor thereof." And the 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 among themselves, saying one 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 went unto the President and sayeth unto him, "This new plan will actively promote the growth and efficiency of this Company, and these Areas in particular." And the President looked upon The Plan, And saw it was good, and The Plan became Policy. This is How Shit Happens.
