Gotta love those hockey stick curve forecasts where things go up at 30 degree angles three years out from the start of the forecast period.

That has to be a standard Visio object. The marketing clowns depend on it. Just plant the curve, label the axes and stuff it into your PowerPoint slides.

The only thing funnier is when the Microsoft Project slingers whip out the PERT and GANNT charts and predict the future in an authoritative voice. Ass clowns in pinstripes who believe their own BS. Most of them don't even bother to talk to the people doing the real work.

You know, the folks that make scent neutralizer must be making a fortune selling their wares to the folks in pinstripes. Although, one cannot quite erase the distinctive brownish color to those charts, one one considers where they're pulled from.
