                The Genesis of a Plan

In the Begining 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 faces of the workers, and
 they spoke amongst themselves, saying, "It is a crock of
 sh*t, and it stinketh."

And the workers went unto their Supervisors and sayeth,
 "It is a pail of dung, and none may abide 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 it."

And the Managers went unto the Directors and sayeth, "It is a
 vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength.  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 the company, and these areas in particular."

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

And the Plan became Policy.

This Is How Sh*t Happens.
