       A business associate asks The Boss, "Can your department do this for
       us?" The   Boss responds, "No problem."   The business associate says,
       "Really? It's outside of your normal scope of work   and I know you're
       over-loaded."   The Boss exclaims, "We're a flexible, client-driven
       organization!"   Asok asks Wally, "Wally, how can I avoid projects
       that are outside of my scope of   responsibility?"   Wally responds,
       "Cheerfully accept the assignments and then never work on   them."  
       Wally continues, "It bolsters your claims of being overloaded while
       leaving you   free for work that matters."   Asok asks, "Work
       matters?" Wally replies, "Well, not to us."   The Boss hands Asok an
       assignment and says, "I'm not even sure what they   want." Asok
       responds, "I'll start ignoring it immediately."
