Are we doomed?
This is nothing to do with MMISoftware, but it got me thinking… Is the human race doomed?
This morning I received a letter. Nothing odd, or worrying, about that, I receive letters everyday…
The front – looks like a normal letter
However, when I turned it over to open it…
The back – looks innocent, but what is that on the right?
I found…
As if instructions were needed….
Yes, instructions on how to open it….!!! Since when have we needed printed instructions on an envelop to tell us how to open it? Is this some sort of sad comment on the state of education? Has the human race reached a point where it needs such information?
It kind of reminded me of a book I read years ago called ‘So long, and thanks for all the fish’ by Douglas Adams (his fourth book in the Hitch-Hiker trilogy – Amazon link) in which one of the characters, Wonko the Sane, built his house ‘inside-out’ as he was convinced the world had gone mad after he discovered that companies were printing instructions on packets of tooth-picks telling people how to use them…
If anyone is looking for me I will away for a few months, somewhere, building an inside-out house…
