Just 8% of a car's cost is labor. Fifty percent is parts. The rest,
42%,is sucked up do-nothing, fat-assed managers - the real cause for
the decline of American business. In a Japanese car company the
manager who has to layoff people must lay himself off. Never happens
in American corporations. Management is like a diaper, always on your
ass and always full of shit.

When I have a UK manager, I'm managed in an enlightened way. Never
happens with American managers.
