Overheard at Heathrow as I waited for a flight the other day (with apologies to those of a sensitive nature for reproducing the quote verbatim, so that you get the full effect):

“You know how, on a farm, if a crow dies, they leave the corpse there to deter other crows? George has really scr*wed up on this. I think we should think of George as a crow.”

Reminded me of some proposal learning reviews I’ve attended…
