Bourbon instead of jet fuel, LOL. Sort of like project decisions being made at Happy Hour instead of in meetings?

Here’s my impression of a Manager:

H, that’s a superb analogy and I totally get what you’re saying - we never have enough runway for these things. So I have a GENIOUS IDEA: From now on we only build HELICOPTERS! Eh? Eh?

And I know three toothless men in a shanty town who’ll build those prop thingies - rotors? yeah - out of bamboo for a handful of rice a day! You’ll have to meet with them at 3am our time each day, though, and they can’t afford teleconferencing equipment, so here are two cans - do you have several thousand miles of string? No? Well just do a TEA.

Problem solved! I’m off to one-minute-manage someone else before my hair gel dries out.
