The Government

I am a civil servant and work in the public service. I know first hand about the bureaucratic issues in the Canadian government. With all the rules and approvals needed certain tasks seem to take forever. This morning I overheard the perfect explanation of why it takes so long for anything to get done around here. "We have the breaks of a Rolls Royce in the engine of a lawn mower." My co-worker later told me the quote was from John Cleese, in reference to the British public service.
