Jim,

I suspect the European bathroom spillage was reduced by imprinting the image of a fly in the bottom of the urinals. Guys can't resist trying to hit it.

My personal experience with the mega software topic: Before mega I had a good handle on department performance and could forecast accurately. After mega, I never could. Too many minute details to get a decent big picture. Eight years later I don't know if it is any better since I'm retired and don't have to worry about it! Someone made a lot of money off of that software. It just didn't seem to be the end user. Our stock price sure didn't go up!

Peace,

Gene,

You have offered the perfect test for the effectiveness of such mega software. I am envious that I did not think of it! Simply put, it is so expensive, its effective use should move one's stock price. I'll bet they would not give a guarantee on that!

Thanks for sharing,

Jim

I think the answer is drawing a fly (like the bug) inside of the
urinals.

I remember seeing it in an email one day!

Diana,

I think your dad should start censoring your emails if this is what you find in them.
