In the beginning 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 the Workers did spoke among themselves, saying to one another:
"This is a crock of shit and it stinks".
And the Workers went unto their Supervisors and did say:
"It is a pail of dung and we cannot live with the stench."
The Supervisors did in turn go unto their Managers and did say:
"It is a container of excrement and is very strong, such that none may abide by it".
The Managers unto their Senior Management did go saying:
"It is a vessel of fertiliser and none may abide its strength".
And so did the Senior Managers speak amongst themselves, saying to one another:
"It contains that which aids plant growth and it is mightily strong".
And so did the Senior Managers go unto the Directors saying:
"It promotes growth and is very powerful".
And unto the Chief Executive did the Directors go saying:
"The new 'Plan' will actively promote the growth and vigour of the company with powerful effects".
And so did the Chief Executive look upon 'The Plan' and saw that is was good.
And so 'The Plan' became policy..
And that is how shit happens.
