Animal Instincts and Programming

My mom's favorite (public) TV station is channel 11. WTTW Chicago. Well she is not so interested in education programs. She likes to watch documentary about animals because it is the few programs she can understand, without needing to understand much English.

So there was an episode about lions. Roar!

Male lions will roar and fight each other for territories and win the lady lions of their choice. (Roar!) The loser gets to go to another mountain for different adventures. If things go well, the lady lion would get pregnant and get little lions. The father? Not so civilized enough to stay with the cubs. (GOTO step 1) That's the lions life: hunt - survive.

The programmers is doing much the same. The consultants are the male lions: they go out to do their things and exit from the scene. They brag about what they do, and they often leave behind poor stuff. The poor support guys are lady lions... take care of the young. (Roar! )

Which role do you want to be in?
