"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."
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.
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.
