The Story of Boredman

Way up on a top floor, deep in the corridors of Corporate power,
the directors sat, sadly pondering the slumping sales chart,
until one junior jumped up and exclaimed, “I’ve got it – instead of

without them carrying their own internal, doomsday mechanism. 
(The more potentially disruptive is the energy, the more it
must be primed for self-destruction.)

One guy says that the only Real fun he’d had in life
