CIO: Why is that uber-powered [commodity RDBMS] system running out of steam? Didn’t we just upgrade?
MANAGER: Yes, but the upgrade didn’t take.
CIO: Didn’t take? Sounds like a doctor transplanting an organ. Do you mean the CPUs rejected it? (laughing)
MANAGER: (soberly) No, just the users. Still too slow.
CIO: That hardware plant cost us [X] million dollars and it had better get it done or I’ll dismantle it for parts. I might dismantle your prima-donna architects with it!
