The Green Fucking Archers: Of Glaring Correlations and Fallacious Causations

He shows up in the office with that innocent I-am-such-a-christian face and I swear I knew how my day would turn out.


Yes, another green archer. Another god-fearing, i-will-kill-you-with-kindness-before-you-kill-me-with-you-intolerance-of-mediocrity-preaching padrino fanatics. I did not mean that to sound blasphemous (Father, forgive me.).


Green archer goes to work late. goes home early. surfs the net more than he looks at his colleague. doesn't go to work the next day. says he is in a meeting. shows up the next morning. claims he's going to the meeting again. colleague asks status of his previous meeting. green archer says he wasn't able to meet client due to client's unavailability. ugh. colleague of course knows he's lying but she lets him go. green archer goes to the client. makes a lousy sales presentation. calls colleague up for help. colleague takes the account and irons out green archer's mess. green archer takes the credit. FUDGE!


here's an itemization of the things I seriously should know:


1. is Padrino system part of your curriculum?
2. do you blatantly teach mediocrity as a subject?
3. do you make your students buy this self-help book on "how to get out of trouble through lies"?
4. is English a major subject?
5. do you teach your students that religion is a survival strategy?


I know that by the above rhetoric, i am completely making a huge fallacy. But forgive me for my inability to disregard the huge similarity.



*hate me. oh please do. that way, we're even.
