AND THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE

... a fine example of Critical Path Analysis

I TOLD MY SON, "YOU WILL MARRY THE GIRL I CHOOSE." 
HE SAID, "NO."

I TOLD HIM, "SHE IS BILL GATES' DAUGHTER." 
HE SAID, "YES." 

I CALLED BILL GATES AND SAID, "I WANT YOUR DAUGHTER TO MARRY MY SON."
BILL GATES SAID, "NO."

I TOLD BILL GATES, "MY SON IS THE CEO OF THE WORLD BANK."
BILL GATES SAID, "OK." 

I CALLED THE PRESIDENT OF WORLD BANK AND ASKED HIM TO MAKE MY SON THE CEO.
HE SAID, "NO."

I TOLD HIM, "MY SON IS BILL GATES' SON-IN-LAW." 
HE SAID, "OK." 

AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW POLITICS WORKS. 
And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in influential positions of government.    
The practice is unbroken to this date.
