Dreaming vs Doing

Earthlings seem to really like planing events and projects with committees. If two people can accomplish twice what one person can, a committee can do half the work in twice the time. The committee is usually run by the man that thinks he's the smartest, but is really the loudest, and the dumbest. Some good ideas get introduced, but by the time the committee's done with them, they're completely unrecognizable. Thus, at the end of the meeting the smart person has to make everything happen, and the people who came up with the ideas don't bother with the small details. So the smart person ends up with a to do list like this:

1. Make three perpendicular parallel lines of three different colors with one pen.

2. Make a ritzy dinner with three sectioned plates, spaghetti, and plastic sporks.

3. Get fire eaters, aerial silks artists, and trapeze artists in a room with an eight-foot ceiling, where fire isn't allowed.

4. The decorations have to look like a fantasy forest with sparkles and lights. The only colors you can use are orange and army green.

5. The venue opens 1 hour before the event. Pray the previous event doesn't run late.

6. You must bring a large Chinese dragon that won't fit in a pickup truck or a minivan. It also won't fit through the door.

7. You must provide a three-tiered cake to feed 200 people with 6 cake mixes and $20. It will have lots of delicate string-work, and needs to be transported from an hour away.

8. Portraits for the 6 honored guests need to be commissioned, framed, and displayed for free.

9. Your budget is $53.12. The committee needs the other $2000 for advertising.

10. The event is in two weeks.

Farewell and never be on a committee.
