Sometimes you see a friend running a company and you just want to tell the guy that the whole reason the company is starting to fall apart is because the marketing guy is lame. Got great workers, great concept, great creative team, great tech folks ... but the guy he hired as the right hand man, this genius marketer, is just not meshing with the rest of your team. And at that point, you remember this little ditty of Paul Simon's, "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover." Only that doesn't cover things at all. Totally different issue. Well, here's the version that'll help your friend understand what he needs to do:
(original lyrics here.)
50 ways to lose the idiot
The problem is all inside his head,
We told the prez.
The answer is easy if you
Take it logically.
We'd like to help the comp'ny in its struggle
To be solvent.
There must be 50 ways
To lose the idiot.
We said it's really not our habit
To intrude
Furthermore, we hope our meaning
Won't be lost or misconstrued
But we'll repeat ourselves
At the risk of sounding rude
There must be 50 ways
To lose the idiot
50 ways to lose the idiot
CHORUS:
You just send him on back, Jack
Take out an advert, Kurt
You don't need his brain, Lane
Just get the comp'ny free
Slip him some pink, Link
You don't need to discuss much
Just get him gone, John
And get the comp'ny free
We said it grieves us
To see so much wasted time
We wish we could get some work done
To make our bids get won
Prez said, I appreciate that
And would you please explain
About the 50 ways
We said, why don't we all
Just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning
You'll begin to see the light
And then we pointed at him
And realized he wasn't working again
There must be 50 ways
to lose the idiot
50 ways to lose the idiot
