You Know You're In Trouble When ...

"You Know You're In Trouble When ..."

Your accountants letter of resignation
is postmarked Zurich.

Your secretary tells you the FBI is on
line 1, the DA is on line 2, and CBS is on 3.

You see the cruise ship captain running
toward the railing wearing a life jacket.

You tell the barber what you think about
his prices before you get your haircut.

People send your wife sympathy cards
on your anniversary.

A black cat crosses you path and drops
dead.

You see your wife and your girlfriend
having lunch together.

The pest exterminator crawls under your
house and never comes out.

"Trust"

At a computer software course, the participants
were given an awkward question to answer:

"If you had just boarded an airliner and
discovered that your team of programmers
had been responsible for the flight control
software, how many of you would disembark
immediately?"

Among the ensuing forest of raised hands
only one man sat motionless. The instructor
asked the lone brave man why he would be
so content to stay on board.

"With my team's software," he reasoned,
"the plane would be unlikely to successfully
taxi to the runway, let alone take off."
