Of Right Hands and Left Toe Nails

Whats the relation between the right hand and the left toe nail ? Other than using it to clean the dirt or remove the toe nail , there isn't much relation right ? With the result that the right hand and left toe nail don't communicate and end up not knowing each others capabilities.


Its a thing that you expect with bureaucracies as eulogised in the immortal Yes Prime Minister. A minister in the EU had a portfolio to pay French farmers to grow excess wheat, while a German minister in the next building paid German farmers to destroy excess wheat. A story that repeats itself in today's software world time and time again . The moral is the same, the context is different. Its no longer wheat, its u "boot".
