Upon arriving at work John placed his coffee on the desk and contemplated his day, ‘It’s just more of the same.’ He stared at the mass of technical wizardry on his desk and thought, ‘we’ve evolved a mind capable of creating something like this – liquid crystal displays, gigabytes of data, streaming information – yet how many of us actually produce anything, let alone understand the marvels that make our lives work.’
Frustrated, he banged his head on the desk. Another team-member walked over from the adjoining cubicle and asked cheerfully “is everything ok over here?” “Yeah, everything’s fine,” replied John. “I just dropped some data reports on the desk.”

Matt eased his car onto the freeway. The day finally over, the bumper to bumper traffic was not a welcome sight. He gritted his teeth and shouted, “Mother fuckers!”
Expecting the worst he eased the seat back and turned on his radio to hear the latest news. It was more of the latest talking heads waxing on about politics. Listening to the news he couldn’t help talking to himself. “I must be dreaming.” “Are these guys really that far out of touch?” “Hello? It’s the economy stupid!”
He nodded his head thinking of the program earlier in the day when they were talking about charitable donations and the fact that the least charitable city was Hartford. ‘Fuckin Hartford’ he thought. ‘Could you find a wealthier city?’ ‘President Bush’s targeted tax cuts’ he thought as he rolled his eyes. “By some friggin miracle we’re going to generate economic stimulus by giving money to people who are naturally cheap?” ‘There’s a friggin guy with a clue!’ he thought.
‘I guess people really are that gullible’ he thought as he looked around to all the “safer” sport utility vehicles that crowded the highway. He began to reconsider himself. ‘It really doesn’t matter what the message or the product is because all it really takes is the right sales,’ he thought. “These Mother fuckers are stupid enough to send their children and grandchildren to their deaths to support their right to drive a vehicle that gets less gas mileage then the car they drove twenty years ago” he shouted. He turned the radio off and shook his head laughing to himself at the insanity of it all.
