How shit happends

In the beginning was the plan. 

And then came the assumptions. 

And the plan was without substance. 

And the assumptions were without form. 

And darkness was upon the face of the workers. 

And they spoke among themselves saying "It is a crock of shit, and it stinks". 

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

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 to their Directors, saying "It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide by 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 is very powerful". 

The vice presidents went unto the president, saying unto him, "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. 

And that is how shit happens.
