Quotation of the Day
Instead of forwarding this to all of you via (by) email, here is your quotation of the day:
“What is a committee? A group of the unwilling, picked from the unfit, to do the unnecessary.”
— (Richard Harkness, New York Herald Tribune, June 16, 1960)
unwilling = not eager to do something; don’t want to do something
unfit = not qualified; does not have the skills or ability to do something
unnecessary = not needed

Thanks for that enjoyable quotation.
The following one is good too:
“A committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours.” (Allen Fred A.)
“Committee = Komm mit Tee = Come with tea” – Gulls
Unreal but unquestionably true everywhere.
And they earn top dollar
