You think my description yesterday weird ? Not at all. My friend KB told me a even better one she heard from another planet:

A newly promoted unit head said to all his subordinates, "You've got to prove you are productive and using all you office hour for business. Please keep a time log and record what you do every 30 minutes."

And he did come around and check.

(Do you know the distance between the words activity and result in the Collins English Dictionary ?)

By the way, a pound of minced meat is quite different from 16 oz of prime steak - however good every tiny single piece of the former is.

PS. I should not laugh at them. Extra-terrestrials of our own solar system do ask us to key in all (minor) procedures to "reflect our activity".

Yes, activity, not result.
