The Plan

The following works for corporate...and especially...government bureaucracies. This was sent to me a couple of years ago, but I don't have any credits for it.

The Plan

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 they spoke among themselves saying,
"It's 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 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 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 Presidents saying
unto them, "It promotes growth, and it is very powerful."

And the Vice Presidents went to the President saying
unto him, "This new plan will actively promote growth,
and vigor of the company with very powerful effects."

And the President looked upon the Plan, and said that
it was good,

And the Plan became Policy.

And this is how shit happens.
