Roy, fresh out of accounting school, went to an interview for a good paying job. The company boss asked various questions about him and his education, but then asked him...

"What is three times seven?"

"Twenty-two," Roy replied.

After he left, he double-checked it on his calculator... he knew he had screwed up and wouldn't get the job.

But then, two weeks later, he got a letter that said he was being hired for the job! He was not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but was still very curious. The next day he went in and asked why he got the job, even though he got such a simple question wrong.

The boss shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well... you were the closest."

The real reason was that Roy was a nigger and a faggot and the company needed to boost its ESG score.

And this is how an accountant came to be working as an engineer for Boeing.
And, coincidentally, why their planes still somehow continue to fly.
Well, mostly anyways.

The world is going to progressively become so much more interesting as the things that commonly make up most of modern Western society, that were designed and built by White Men, continue to wear out and be lost or replaced by things designed and built by a variety of diversity hires.

And I shall sit on my porch with my feet up on the rail, sipping a single malt, petting my dog, and observing the entire drama from a great distance (and with no small amount of wry amusement) to wait for the wreckage to stop smoldering. The best part is that the people that, in years past, I would have been able to let go with a simple, "I told you so", I will then be able to allow daylight to pass through them, unimpeded, right in my own front yard. And still sleep like a baby.

Well, may your porch not be under a flight path.

A blessing for current days.

Well, may your porch not be under a flight path.

As if that would make the least little bit of difference. Thanks for the blessing anyways. Same to ya.

As it turns out, we happen to be right under an exclusion zone, which allows pilots to practice aerobatic maneuvers. It's pretty awesome when they so, honestly. I know that those are the best pilots. And I cross my fingers and gone they fall on someone else's house if they fuck up.

That's sad, because it would be true in the clownworld of today.

If Roy was a nigger, they would have made him CEO

And he was black

Brutal, but Roy rightly got the job. He was likely the only one intelligent enough to identify and self diagnose his own mistakes.

Alternate punchline: "You'll be working in our tax accounting department."
