You know, I have to laugh. I just love it when Barnabas tells his little helpers (e.g. Willie or Carolyn), to do something impossible or really difficult; they look at him blankly and then he says, "I leave it entirely in your capable hands." So then when they can't accomplish the task, he can then blame them.

A precursor to late 20 century management technique?

Now I know why I can't stand Barnabas . . . I've worked for people like this (bloodsuckers in the figurative sense only, lol).

Maybe Enron can use this method in their defense.

I know exactly what you mean! I've worked for people like that too. Masters of creating no-win situations.

Do you all work at the same place as I do?
