Topic: 4) A Random Walk
Had to reprint this one (by Bernie Ramsbottom of the Financial Times on April 11, 1981):
"Of all the businesses, by far
Consultancy's the most bizarre.
For the penetrating eye,
There's no apparent reason why,
With no more assets than a pen,
This group of personable men
Can sell to clients more than twice
The same ridiculous advice,
Or find, in such a rich profusion,
Problems to fit their own solution."
