Good one Scott...
I knew that being a Buddhist was helping me in my
career, I just couldn't articulate it properly...

On a related note, when I was in the USAF, many
moons ago, one of my maintenance officers pointed
me to a magazine article by an IBM field engineer
who claimed to carry a rubber chicken in his tool
box...
When he went on a service call the first thing he
would do was shake the rubber chicken over the
misbehaving machine...And he claimed that more
than 75% of the time, that, and a reboot was all
he needed to do to fix the problem...
The maintenance officer then gave me a rubber
chicken, which I hung in a prominent place near
our central processor...

I have heard that it was still there when
Hurricane Andrew destroyed the base, six years
after I left...
