Our internal auditor distributed a list of recommendations for how we should track testing activities. She published it to an unnecessarily long list of people.

My coworker replied to the whole group saying, "When I was on the Minuteman project at Boeing, we did [3 out of 17 of her recommendations] and the DoD found that sufficient. I think that should be more than adequate for tracking propane deliveries."

I asked, "Is that your way of saying this isn't rocket science?"

"Yup. And if she'd sent her report to me first I could have told her that without documenting it for her boss."
