Why I could never work in government

"So have they found a new cubicle for you yet?"

"No, but they met last week to talk about it."

"And?"

"Progress! They decided to decide."

"What does that mean, they decided to decide?"

"Just that."

"But that makes no sense. Could they decide not to decide? Or not decide to decide?"

"Yes."

"But what would that actually mean? Not deciding IS a decision. WHAT THE HELL IS A DECISION NOT TO MAKE A DECISION OR A OR NON-DECISION TO MAKE A DECISION?"

"You see, your problem is, you're thinking about this like someone who lives in the real world."

Right.
