A Little Workplace Humor II
We all grew up with the assumption that grown-ups know what they're doing, so it comes to us as something of a shock that it's often not the case. Architects design flawed buildings, corporations fail because of inept decisions, politicians blunder big time, and everywhere we look there's more evidence that Murphy had it right when he concocted his famous law. Take doctors, for instance. They have a diploma on the wall that attests to their mastery of medicine, but that piece of sheepskin is deceptive. Does anyone ever think to ask their doctor where in his class he graduated? 124th out of 125? Not good. Like everyone else who goes to school, doctors only need to score 70% on their tests in order to pass. I'm always afraid when I have to consult a physician that with my luck whatever is ailing me might be one of the 3 out of 10 things he knows nothing about.

That's what you get when education becomes outcome based instead of knowledge based. Meeting targets seems to have taken precedence to "knowing" something in our crazy modern world.
