Title: Do NOT Assume!
Post by: GrayBeard on May 27, 2011, 09:24:25 pm

A young engineer was leaving the office at 5:45 p.m. when he found the
CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important
document, and my secretary is not here. Can you make this thing work?"

"Certainly," said the young engineer. He turned on the machine, inserted
the paper, and pressed the start button.

"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the
machine, "I just need one copy."

Lesson:  Never, never ever assume that your boss knows what he's
doing.
