    The best line I've heard lately was from a shop foreman at the old

    Republic Steel plant in Cleveland when this young black man was

    being laid off.

    The black man said to the shop foreman: "You're firing me

    because I'm black!"

    The shop foreman replied, "No, we hired you because you were

    black. We are firing you because you are useless!"

    Substitute "any quota" for black - it's the quotas that can kill a company

    We have a saying at our company "screw up, move up" Seems anyone that can't pull there weight gets promoted. The rest of us they can't afford to have in management because nothing would get done.
