How Shit Happens

In the beginning, there was the plan.

And then came the assumptions.

And the assumptions were without form.

And the plan was completely without substance.

The planners told the Chief of Plans: "It's a crock of shit and it stinks!"

The Chief of Plans then told the G3: "It's a pail of dung and none may abide by the odor."

The G3 then told Chief of Staff: "It's a container of excrement and it is very strong such that none may smell it."

The Chief of Staff then told the ADC(M): "It is a vessel of fertilizer and none may abide by its strength. It contains that which aids plant growth and it is very strong."

The ADC(M) told the CG: "It promotes growth and it is very powerful. It will promote the efficiency in the system and victory for the future."

And the CG reviewed the plan and said: "This is good."

And the plan became an order.

And this is how shit happens.
