Put about 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open
window. Then send 2 or 3 candidates in the room and close the door. Leave
them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyse the situation.
If they are counting the bricks. Put them in the accounts department.
If they are recounting them. Put them in auditing.
If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks. Put them in
engineering.
If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order. Put them in planning.
If they are throwing the bricks at each other. Put them in operations.
If they are sleeping. Put them in security.
If they have broken the bricks into pieces. Put them in information technology.
If they are sitting idle. Put them in human resources.
If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been
moved. Put them in sales.
If they have already left for the day. Put them in marketing.
If they are staring out of the window. Put them on strategic planning.
And then last but not least.
If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved,
congratulate them and put them in Executive Management.

This closeup picture from the LSU game on Saturday looks to show Spurrier not being at all in good health. He was not a frail man and this picture shows a very frail looking man. The second picture was taken at the GA game a month ago.I was wondering if his health had something to do with his decision.

Busch, Bud, Michelob and others - InBev of Belgium
Miller - SAB of the UK soon to be another InBev Company for the tune of $106 Billion
Lonestar - owned by Pabst Blue Ribbon - now owned by a California Company, most commie of them all but wait a minute the Los Angeles company Pabst Brewing is acutally owned by MillerCoors which is controlled by Moson which is controlled by SAB Miller!
Coors - taken over by Molson (Canadian Commies) several years ago and now operated as a joint venture by SAB Miller operating as MillerCoors.
Schlitz - now owned by California Commies Pabst aka MillerCoors which is really Molson Coors which is really SAB Miller.
Basically all the major known AMERICAN Beer Names will belong to one European company.
Just imagine what the New World Order can do for us if they can fuk beer up that bad.

Judgment Day at the wardens company today, going to hand out about 350 pink slips and about that many or more job re-assignments. Best thing is a pink slip might be the better option because of the very nice severance package other than she has been working the oil fields for 32 years and that would be a sad way to end it as she will just retire about 10 months earlier than planned.Good luck to her. And please be nice today, TXDave. She's gonna have a shit day no matter what the outcome.

That's the one I pasted. Two separate deals. And thank you for your input, CB, but we're going to wait for NJDave to chime in. No offense, nothing personal, GFY.Probably a good idea on the waiting for fly-boy to land and chime in as I really don't know crap about them other than the Cigar King price was double the Sis. I was referring to the Sis letter deal from Tim Blythe as maybe trying.Which deal? Perhaps we need to wait for NJDave to land and provide his learned and invaluable input.With hesitation I will share my opinion ;) - Never tried one but compared to the Cigar King offer they are a steal at the sis. I was actually thinking about trying some on that deal.Must be National La Palina Daily Special Day, Sister Email and Cigar King both La Palina's today. As usual Cigar King deal is a joke.So who would like to share their opinion on the La Palina. In particular the sis offering. 10 La Palina El Diario Kill Bill (4.25"x40 corona size) just $49.99 plus free shipping...OR... 10 La Palina Black Label (6"x50 toro size) just $49.99 plus free shipping!
