I especially like the Plan™...


IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE PLAN

And then came the Assumptions
And the Assumptions were without Substance
And Darkness was upon the Face of the Workers
And they spake amongst themselves, saying
“It is a Crock of Shit and it Stinks”

And the Workers went unto their Supervisors and said
“It is a Pail of Dung and none may abide the Odor thereof”

And the Supervisors went unto their Managers and said unto them
“It is a container of Excrement and it is very Strong
such that none may abide it”


And the Managers went unto their Vice-Presidents and said
“It is a Vessel of Fertilizer and none may abide its strength”

And the Vice-Presidents spake among themselves saying one to another
“It contains that which aids Plant Growth and it is very strong”

And the Vice-Presidents went unto the President and said unto him
“It promotes Growth and it is very powerful”

And the President went unto the Board of Trustees and said unto them
“This new Plan will promote the Growth and Efficiency of this Company
and in these Areas in particular”


And the Board of Trustees looked upon the Plan

And they saw that it had had Input From All Levels

And they agreed that it was Good

AND THE PLAN WAS IMPLEMENTED

Ahem. Pezcyclando, the song was meant to point out what the antienvironidiots were doing, not a recommendation to pave

In reply to:

They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot


Big Yellow Taxi-Joni Mitchell

Bloody hippies indeed!

King Lothar, exiled king of Romania, is known throughout the western world as a great philanthropist. He recently played in a worldwide-charity golfing event in which eight-person teams would compete at various golf courses, with their scores compared via satellite. The King and his team were in first place, coming in at one over par. But their hopes for the championship were dashed by the team playing at the Pair of Dice Casino's course; as was reported to the king via cell phone, "They played Pair of Dice and put up a par, King Lot."
