The Rules of Bureaucracy 1. Preserve thyself.
2. It is easier to fix the blame than to fix the problem. 3. A penny saved is an oversight. 4. Information deteriorates upward. 5. The first 90% of the task takes 90% of the time; the last 10% takes the other 90%. 6. Experience is what you get just after you need it. 7. For any given large, complex, hard-to-understand, expensive problem, there exists at least one short, simple, easy, cheap wrong answer. 8. Anything that can be changed will be, until time runs out. 9. To err is human; to shrug is civil service. 10. There's never enough time to do it right, but there's always enough time to do it over. http://funny-jokes.blogspot.com/
