:Since Mark Riggins wants free assistance in doing his marketing research,
:I can certainly oblige, but I would have to say that my clients tell me
:there are only three things they want:
:1. Total security.
:2. Totally transparent access from everywhere.
:3. And all of it for free.
:and there you have it, sports fans!

...truer words were never spoken; and, when there is a problem,
the man will call up and say "It dont work!..." to which you ask:
"OK, _what_ does not work?..." and this sequence is repeated again
and again -ad nauseum-- "..._IT_ dont work! I keep telling you!"
The call escalates all the way to your head freak, who has never
suffered fools well... (and should never be permitteed to
talk to a real customer, much less a prospective customer)...
The probably simple problem (Maybe ...it was unplugged?) is
resolved by the guru asking the client: "...why in the fuck would
you do something as 'stupid and ignorant' as _that_?!?).
Of course, the resolution is a lost customer.... "Minor
problem,.." says the guru: "he's a jerk, we dont need him...."
And, redder than a russian beet, cradling the talking instrument
with plastic shattering impact, our beloved peter-principle
corporate honcho screams at his staff: "...I told you stupid nerds
you should have gone with Bill Gates --someone smart!"
