Ovaltine. Why do they call it Ovaltine? The glass is round, the container is round – why don\’t they call it Roundtine?
This risk management stuff you gave me is gold, Jerry!
Yes, I often end up making jokes when I\’m frustrated by current world events. I\’ve got three links for you people, read them all after the jump.
We\’ll start with this link (Quicktime required, first twenty seconds or so somewhat NSFW, depending on your work environment). I don\’t know this Ze Frank, but I like this entry quite a bit. The show from the day before is good too. I haven\’t watched any more than that.
But so the subject is risk management, and how no one is talking about it w/r/t The War on Terra! Here\’s an article that\’s been flying around the office lately, in convenient PDF format. Link. Personally, I\’m partial to Senator McCain\’s quote:
\”Get on the damn elevator! Fly on the damn plane! Calculate the odds of being harmed by a terrorist! It\’s still about as likely as being swept out to sea by a tidal wave. Suck it up, for crying out loud! You\’re almost certainly going to be okay. And in the unlikely event you\’re not, do you really want to spend your last days cowering behind plastic sheets and duct tape? That\’s not a life worth living, is it?\”
If only he\’d say something like that on tv – it\’d be a great soundbite. Sadly, that\’d probably be politically unwise, and I\’m sure he knows it. He said it in a book. Nobody reads books.
And finally: F\’in A, Cotton. F\’in A.
