       the Boss says, "Dilbert, I need you to take care of?um?" The Boss
       says, "?.Whatever is on the top of my pile." Dilbert says, "This is a
       job for marketing. Not engineering." The Boss says, "Give it to the
       director of marketing and ask him to assign it to someone." Dilbert
       says, "So...you're delegating to me to pass this off to someone else,
       who will delegate it to someone else." Dilbert says, "With each
       handoff, the sense of urgency will diminish until the likelihood of
       completion approaches zero." Dilbert says, "You could save the company
       money by crumpling up this document and throwing it away right now."
       The boss says, "This feels wrong." Dilbert says, "Try using more
       wrist."
