Observation of the Day:

Waking someone with the same attitude as Paul Revere informing the Americans of the British coming will insure they are there promptly, however it does nothing to assure they are dressed or prepared for it.

Trying to get a vastly important task done by insisting on doing it in the cheapest and most 'cost effective' way will insure the task is never complete and if it is done it will be done in such a manner that renders it pointless and moot.

Making something both idiot and dog proof are quite similar in that they are the exact same procedure; it should also be noted that it requires the subtle touch of a woman for success at the proofing. For illustration points or lack thereof see: Crusades, the Dark Age, Both World Wars and parliamentary procedure.
