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 darkness was on the face of the workers
And they spoke among themselves, saying
'It is a crock of shit and it stinketh'
And the wrokers went to the planners and sayeth
'It is a pile of dung and none may abide the odor thereof'
And the planners went to the supervisors and sayeth unto them
'It is acontainer of excrement and it is very strong such that none may abide by it'
And the supervisions went to the managers and sayeth unto them
It is a vessel of fertilizer and none may abide it's strength
And the managers went to the directors and sayeth
'It contains that which aids growth and it is very strong'
And the directors went to vice president and sayeth
'It promote growth and it is very powerful'
And the vice president went to the president and sayeth unto him
'This powerful new plan will actively promote the growth and efficiency of the department'
And the president looked upon the plan and saw that it was good.
And the plan became policy.
