>Idiots _always_ ask if I "get them all green any faster?"

I used to get that. The kick-off meeting was Monday afternoon and they 
wanted results by Friday. I would counter: "You can have it by Tuesday 
noon." I would then pause to watch them get all excited, then say, "But 
it will be crap." They would then stutter: "But we don't want it to crap. 
We'll wait 'til Friday." I would counter: "It will still be crap, I might 
as well give it to you on Tuesday." That set the stage for a "how good do 
you want it" vs. "how long will it take" discussion.

I did this over and over and still can't believe it always worked.
