I have a flagrant example of copyright violation in my office (which, alas,
I have also shared with dozens of friends because it is so apt). It is a
reproduction of the first page of Winnie and it is a *wonderful* summary of
how so many organizations work ... um, er, function ... ummm, behave!
It reads (underneath the wonderful illustration of a little boy dragging a
small bear by one arm, headfirst down a staircase):
"Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on
the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows,
the only way of coming dowstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really
is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a monent and think of it."
Perfect!
