Meanwhile in the plastic rings factory...

Pointy-haired boss: "Carlsberg just cancelled the order for the 10 million plastic rings we produced, they're gonna glue the cans together instead!"

Mid-level manager: "Oh, that's bad. What should we now do with all the rings?"

Pointy-haired boss: "This sucks! Might as well dump them in the ocean!"

Mid-level manager: "Ok!"

If this was literally true, it still would prevent the next 10 million rings from being produced, so it should have an eventual benefit from discontinuing them.

Why are they pointy-haired..?
