You have touched me in more ways than I can count.

Nonsense can touch some feelings
where the firmest logic cannot reach
because logic won't go there.

Logic is simply a way of being wrong defensibly. Mathematics is a way of backing your errors with numbers. No one can touch you unless you touch yourself.

So the CEO gets the annual report. He calls in the COO and says, "What do these numbers mean?" The COO says, "Well, we need more space. Time to lease another building." Then he calls in the CPO and says, "What do these numbers mean?" and the CPO says, " Well, we need to invest more in the employees we have and make targeted hires to mission critical implementations." Then he calls in the CTO and says, "What do these numbers mean?" The CTO says, "Well, we could increase our productivity by upgrading our systems infrastructure and virtualizing our applications." Finally, he calls in the CFO and says, "What do these numbers mean?"

The CFO, gets up, closes the door, sits back down, leans forward and says softly, "What do you want them to mean?"

I am here to help you all get in touch with your inner bastards.

In fact, everything here on Mars is Fabulous! It's a pink planet. We're hanging drapes. Life? Well there's some life here now. We're playing the Pet Shop Boys and drinking Cosmos.
