Well, apart from now wondering how many angels can freely put on a dance rave on the head of a pin, this then in turn also begs the question: How many US Marines does it take to erect a provisional Old Glory flagpole?How many techbros does it take to change a light bulb?

I have dealt with obnoxious A and C types, as well as some brilliant ones. I consider myself an underachieving C type. A few B types offered me most welcome, professional support at critical moments in my life.Um…I forget…what happened to all the A and C types on Golgafrincham after they got rid of the so-called useless B types of their population: the management consultants, marketing executives, hairdressers and telephone sanitizers?

Hmm…now which of those two is the most destructive….
