I can’t recall if there was a thread about this, or just a post in some other thread.
It’s a first meeting between several staff people and and a newly hired consultant, and the staff are asking him to do crazy and or plainly impossible things. He tries repeatedly to explain why he can’t do what they want, but they are oblivious. He ends up just agreeing to everything. There are all kinds of references to the color of lines on charts.
It’s relatively brief, may 10 minutes?

I searched youtube for “consultants funny”.
Telemark nailed it in one, though ‘consultants’ is really not the right category for this. An experienced consultant would smile and agree enthusiastically and then deliver exactly the dumb idea that was requested. Only an engineer would actually dare to tell the customers that their ideas are nonsense and accurately figure out what they really need.
WOW you folks are good! Thanks
