Not Always Right...

I made my first submission to http://www.notalwaysright.com/. NicBunny and Antonio know what it is, but I suggest you check it out as it is quite funny. Also another reminder of why I will never work with the general public. So we'll see if my quote is funny enough to make the page in the future. If so I'll keep everyone posted. Regardless this happened to me yesterday...
Passing by a high level engineer in my office I notice that he has a piece of paper with a large black grid on it and he's filling in the squares using a highlighter. Closer inspection shows that he's making check marks and X's. So I of course stop and ask, 'Playing tic tac toe?'
'No I'm making a diagram to present to management.'
'Seriously?'
'Yeah, we have some issues and I need to make it easy for management to understand.'
Me: dying a little on the inside... Of course I had to take a picture to share with everyone ;-)

The child-like table would be insulting to my intelligence. Prehaps this is why I'm not in management? My current boss is the only manager I've ever had that I haven't considered a moron, but he's also a Michigan alum so that explains it LOL

Might as well hire Big Bird or Elmo to give the presentation if it makes it even easier for management to understand. Wait, does Germany even have Sesame Street? Ok, the thought of Cookie Monster speaking in German scares me.
