People!<br /><br />Wherever a career is at risk, wherever there is a lazy schlub, or an idiot, or - apparently it needs to be said - wherever they believe in witchcraft, trust them and their statistics like you would trust a chocolate-smeared four-year-old to tell you what happened to the brownies, because that's the mental and moral level of the Great and Good, the Best and Brightest, and the Big Men.<br /><br />Common sense is an uncommon virtue.<br /><br />-BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
