    What would the politician do?
    Very well put. But what if the politician is already fabulously rich and doesn't need the money?

      Me: "I am going to stomp on this puppy's head and give you £10 to keep schtum. OK?"

      Poor person: "Police!"

      Homeless person: "Hey man, no! I'll take the puppy."

      Rich politician: "Hang on, I need to call some friends. How many tenners have you got there?"
      My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

        Cull all IT Contractors (and PMs) under 35

        Why are PMs listed as separate to contractors in the thread title?

        I know all they do is create project plans and schedule pointless meetings to sit around eating jaffa cakes, but they are still contractors.
        You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think.

          Do you bring Jaffa cakes to meetings? I could tolerate a PM who hands out jaffa cakes.

            My idea: = CULL ALL BEAN COUNTERS
            Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

            Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

              I'm not a PM. But I do bring Jaffa cakes to meetings.
