The “Forbidden Words” thread got me thinking back to “the day” when I was a firefighter stationed in the seveth level of Hell, otherwise known as the Headquarters Station. Many you you in either government or corporate settings will recognize the following:
One day, darkness fell upon the faces of the firefighters. Their lieutenant came unto them and said: “I have bad news. A new policy is being implemented” and the lieutenant went on to describe the new policy. Afterwards, the rank and file exclaimed
“This policy is a crock of shit and it stinks to Hell!”
The lieutenant went unto the Captain and sayeth:
“The men think this is a load of crap and it smells rotton”
The Capitain went unto the Batallion Chief and sayeth:
“The ranks state that this new policy is a vessel of dung with a strong stench”
The Batallion Chief went unto the Assitant Chief and sayeth:
“This policy is full of manure and contains a smell so foul that none can abide to it”
The Assistant Chief went unto The Chief and sayeth:
“This policy consists of that which makes plants grow and with it a strong smell”
The Chief went unto the Commissioners and sayeth:
“I have that which will promote growth in the department and is said to be a powerful motivator of men”
and the Policy was approved…
