IT'S BETTER TO EXECUTE AN IMPERFECT PLAN TODAY THAN A PERFECT PLAN NEXT WEEK.

YAY! WE'RE FREE FROM ANY PENALTY IF WE DO THINGS WRONG!

UM, NO.

NOTHING LIKE THAT.

YOU'RE STILL IN BIG TROUBLE IF YOU DO ANYTHING WRONG.

AND I'M ALSO IN BIG TROUBLE IF I TAKE LONGER TO DO THINGS RIGHT?

YES.

OKAY, I GET IT. YOUR PLAN IS IDIOTIC, BUT WE SHOULD DO IT ANYWAY AND NOT WAIT FOR YOU TO SAY SOMETHING SMARTER.

YOU'RE LEADING BY EXAMPLE. NICELY DONE.

WHAT OTHER DUMB THINGS SHOULD WE DO RIGHT AWAY?
