Isn' that what Adolph said, and Mao, and Stalin, and Pol Pot and Jimmy Carter. . .
You forgot Castro.
The Plan
In the beginning was "the plan"
the plan was without form or substance
and they looked upon the plan
and they saw that it was good.
the plan was put forth to the workers
and the workers reviewed the plan
the workers saw that the plan was without form or substance
and the workers rejected the plan
The workers took the plan to the foreman
the workers said "this is sh1t and it stinks"
the foreman reviewed the plan and observed
that the plan was without form or substance
The foreman took the plan to the manager
and the foreman said "this is manure and it smells"
the manager looked upon the plan
and the manager saw that there may be room for improvement
The manager took the plan to the vice president
and the manager said "this is fecal matter and it is strong"
the vice president enquisatively reviewed the plan
and noted minute areas for change
The vice president presented the plan to the C.E.O.
and the vice president said "this is fertilizer and will induce growth"
The C.E.O. gazed upon the plan and said:
"this is good - make it policy"
and the plan was without form or substance
