A little bit different than the others posted here (in the 2x Zombie Thread!), but this one had the folks at work in hysterics… [The Twelve Stages of Deployment.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RqVUiTjV_g) I found it first and sent it off to everyone else, but I was literally in tears at my desk laughing.
