El Presidente is not an easy man to please.
We were discussing today whether there is in fact any room between slap-dash and over-engineered in his book. There probably is a sweet spot, but it's tiny.
Mark suggested that it's a bit like shower controls. You know - the temperature control usually has 90° of play or more. Why is it, then, that the range of temperatures suitable for organic life are usually covered by 1° of that?
Hmmm. Tracey then pointed out a car's clutch pedal as another example of this. Useless over all but a tiny part of its movement.
She then told us that the first example that came to her mind was, uh, anatomical. She refused to elaborate. I honestly haven't a clue as to what she might have been referring to. Any suggestions?
Posted to Apropos of nothing by Simon Brunning at May 01, 2003 05:20 PMThere is a element of truth in this. Just an element. Its always easier to blame someone/thing else when missing the target, people just donэt rise to the challenge any more, too many lagers and pot noodles are making the monkeys lazy.
