A Bit of Humor About the Government (What are the odds?!)

Which Government? Does it matter? It seems equally applicable!

My sister brought me these two items...the author of the first one, below, is unknown, so if you have any leads, please email me at cganders1@yahoo.com so I can give them their due credit. The second is a link to a live journal entry, so the author is known.

And yes, this weekend, likely Saturday night or Sunday afternoon, I will be posting a music review of a great band (or bands, possibly) so check back if you're interested. And if not, have a great weekend (and for those in the USA, have a great Memorial Day weekend...remember those we've lost, honor those we still have but remember, that being miserable doesn't make things any better for anyone...so enjoy the long weekend.)

How Government And Business Works
( just about any large corporation these days)

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said "Someone may steal from it at night."

So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.

Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?"

So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.

Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?"

So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports.

Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?"

So they created the following positions, a timekeeper, and a payroll officer, then hired two people.

Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"

So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost."

So they laid off the night watchman.
