My recent issue arrived with a separate page explaining that "this is a

They hired an MBA who showed them how to save money and bull**** you
about what great deal your getting. What they were attempting to do
is, tell you to go hell and make you look forward to the trip.

I watched an ad on TV where a guy claimed to have saved an olive
producer 86,000$ by leaving one olive out of the jar. In no nonsense
terms, he shorted the customer. He was so proud of himself, he was
advertising his service.

In a Ford boardroom, an MBA very seriously asked why a wheel needed
five bolts to hold a wheel on, when one would do. His remarks were
met with incredulous awe. Apparently, he demonstrated the acme of
know nothing ignorance and stupidity to the wrong crowd.


One WILL do the job. Problem being it might be more expensive than five.


If it was a good solution, it seems like the Indy-500 racers would have
went with it, because it sounds faster!



Yeah, but the cost of those wire wheels will more than eat an extra 20 nuts
and bolts ....
