Pasta Puttanesca

It's a good thing that the Olive Garden serves a never ending bowl of Pasta e Fragola. Our favorite Italian Waiter will never run out of bowls to fill when he takes his new job there.

However, his new employer better keep a close eye on what is being served. Who would want the health department getting involved because of the serving of bad pasta? Still, our Waiter seems intent on ignoring the observations of Dr. Ride, saying that the fact that he has Ares hardware already at the right coast is "proof enough to many at the ... agency that the schedule is on track." Of course, the operative words are "many at the ... agency," as nobody outside the agency believes that to be true. He must have been in the lobby when smart Sally revealed her report, because he still claims Ares is "well under way" and "on target" for Ares I to begin operating in 2015.

And we won't even bring up the sham nature of the Ares 1X test that the Air Force believes is incapable of safely flying.

Sorry, we said we wouldn't bring that up. More soup, please!

Interesting. How about the Software?

We don't have software. We have a software development learning program...

a fellow once at Hughes long before it became
Boeing, was at a all-hands meeting and the
division manager was cheerleading
"We have X thousand pounds of Station Hardware
Delivered, and only y Thousand Remaining".
In a brief moment of silence, my colleague said
loudly "How much does the software weigh".
the Division manager shouted out "Who said that, I want him fired".
