How Shit Happens.
In the beginning was the Plan.
And then came the Assumptions.
And the Assumptions were without form. And the Plan was without substance.
And the darkness was upon the face of the Workers.
And they spoke amongst themselves, saying, "It is a crock of sh*t and it stinks."
And the workers went to their Supervisors and said, "It is a pail of dung and we cannot stand the smell."
And the Supervisors went to their Directors, saying, "It is a container of excrement, it is a vessel of fertilizer and the workers cannot cope with its odour."
And the Directors spoke amongst themselves, saying one to another, "It contains that which aids plant growth and it is very strong."
And the Directors went to the Vice Presidents saying, "It promotes growth and it is very powerful."
And the Vice Presidents went to the President saying, "This new Plan will actively promote the growth and vigour of the company with powerful effects."
And the President looked upon the Plan and saw that it was good.
And the Plan became policy.
"There must be a one-to-one correspondence between left and right parentheses, with each left parenthesis to the left of its corresponding right parenthesis."
