ANOTHER WORD FOR COMMITTEES

What…the…(%#$) is it with committees? Sorry about that last spittle of venom, but the subject gets me so lathered. I can’t even spell right. It’s a cliché I know but Lord have mercy, committees are dangerous. Did Michelangelo sculpt by committee? No he didn’t. Committees are just made up of one “I need to justify my existence” after another. They shouldn’t be called committees, they should be called coshittees. Tasteless rhyme there but I hope you can sense my ire. The Beatles were a committee of four and they couldn’t stand it. What makes us anyone think 22 people could come up with anything less than awful. How can so many people say the same thing over and over and over and over and over? It’s for bigger brains than mine to grasp. The more people on the coshitty, the less responsibility everybody takes. A committee is just as good as its weakest link. That’s why the result of 99% of all committees is so damn mediocre. Ah, who cares…I’m going to poke the pebble and find a better mood.
