In the beginning was the Plan. 
 And then came the Assumptions. 
 And the Assumptions were without form. 
 And the Plan was without substance. 
 And the darkness was upon the face of the Workers. 
 And they spoke amongst themselves, saying, "It is a
 crock of shit and it stinketh." 
 And the workers went unto their Supervisors and
 said, "It is a pail of  dung and none may abide 
 the odor thereof." 
 And the Supervisors went unto their Directors,
 saying, "It is a container of excrement and it is 
 very strong, such that none may abide it. It is a
 vessel of fertilizer and none may abide its strength." 
 And the Directors spoke amongst themselves, saying
 one to another, "It  contains that which aids plant growth 
 and it is very strong." 
 And the Directors went unto the Vice Presidents
 saying, "It promotes  growth and it is very powerful." 
 And the Vice Presidents went unto the President
 saying, "This new Plan will actively promote the 
 growth and vigor 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 this is how Shit Happens.
