{ed This is one of those ones that I never liked, but people keep sending
me versions of it with great regularity.  I hope posting this makes them
stop.  On the other hand, I still get "Mouse Balls" and "Agnostic Dislexics"
at least once a week.}

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 the Darkness was on the faces of the Employees 
 
And they spoke unto their Supervisors saying 
 
"It's a Crock of Shit and it Stinketh!" 
 
And the Supervisors went unto their Department Heads and sayeth 
 
"It's a Pail of Dung, and none may abide the Odor thereof." 
 
And the Department Heads went unto their Managers, and sayeth 
unto them 
 
"It is a Container of Excrement, and it is very strong, such that
none may abide by it." 
 
And the Managers went unto their Director and sayeth 
 
"It is a Vessel of Fertilizer, and none may abide its Strength."

And the Director went unto the Vice President and sayeth 
 
"It contains that which aids Plant Growth, and it is very Strong."

And the Vice President went to the Executive Vice President and
sayeth 
 
"It promoteth Growth, and it is very Powerful." 
 
And the Executive Vice President went to the President and sayeth

"This Powerful New Plan will actively promote the Growth and 
Efficiency of the System." 
 
And the President looked upon the Plan and saw that it was Good 
 
And the Plan became Policy
