"You see, there's another incident. How could we accept so many accidents in a professional institute ?" The seasoned soldier roared.
"Isn't it natural ?" The senior civil servant tried to calm down his friend, "As the Murphy's Law says, any disaster that could happen will happen."
"But we got to do something and stop it !" The army general is of course a supporter of actionism.
"OK, OK. Maybe we can invite an expert and see to the problem." The Secretary conceded.
"What kind of expert ?"
"Well, we have two options," the civil servant continued, "First, we could ask an expert of Feng Shui (風水) and Mao Shan (茅山)."
"Could that help ?" the army general was incredulous.
"Absolutely. He will come and see to the problem. After that, he would write down special incantations - actually he would draw special Taoist magic figures that no one could or would read - on piles of papers. As long as you keep them safe in your drawer, and post a few everywhere you work, you can be protected from further mishaps."
"That doesn't sound really reassuring. What's the second option ?"
"That's our senior administrator," the secretary put up a wicked smile, "He would do the same thing and give the same remedy as our Mao Shan specialist - except his incantations are called guidelines and protocols !"
