No, it's a stupid idea, on final approach... And look, the Boss has his office door open!
The Boss has wandered into Mission Control with something obviously on his mind. Over time, the PFY and I have learned to equate these thoughtful moments with the BAG FULL lamp of a commercial vacuum cleaner at a waxing salon.
His presence in Mission Control is never a good sign, but his "thoughtful" presence, even more so. He'll have seen something, read something, spoken to someone, or possibly overheard something in a toilet stall that will have sounded – to him – like a great idea.
Or it might have been a cheddar-frenzy-induced fever dream that he wants to run by us. And the Boss's crazy ideas are, unfortunately, like bran flakes to his mental digestion, the output of which being delivered to the PFY and myself as a veritable slurry of poorly considered ideas.
"AI," he says, pausing for effect, once he's rolled to a stop. He then waits patiently for one of us to ask "What about AI?"
