"Did you F**k With It?" "Yes." "You Poor Bastard."

Don't just do something, stand there! More and more I get the sense that when it comes to the frantic "fixing" being done to the economy over the last few weeks, we are in the realm of this classic flowchart:

You may, of course, assign the "You" in the chart to your favorite shibboleths of the moment.

The German version is even more funny. "IDIOT" is the most prominent feature in the German version and it's in the center of the diagram. Everything leads from and returns to that particular word.

I have to laugh, every time it catches my attention.

This needs to be sent to each and every member of Congress. The 'O' and McCain, too.

This was posted at Southern Pacific Transportation in San Francisco, right alongside a sign reading "There's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over."

I have a copy of this dated 1988 that's done up on a GE Engineering form, with CONFIDENTIAL stamped on it in red.

Oldest version I've ever seen, althought undoubtedly it's older than that.

Want me to email you a copy?

Sure.

I have a variant of this form laminated to the inside of the top half of my rollaway tool box.

It dates from NCO Academy, Twentynine Palms.

It is STEP ONE in any project.
