The Two Best Lines I've Had Recently

We've all had different experiences at work. But for those of you who have experience with big business, these stories are for you.

...

I was talking to an engineer who was troubleshooting a new software package. Lou looked up from his monitor and told me that he'd already fixed all of the bugs that he'd found. I smiled and said "That's great!"

I continued, "Unfortunately, it's not the bears that I can see that worry me - it's the bears I can't."

...

A few days later, I stopped by to talk to one of our mechanics who was bolting some angle iron to the floor as a backstop for forklift parking. He suggested painting the angle iron yellow so that the technicians would see it.

I nodded thoughtfully and said "That makes sense. Let's do it anyway."
