Lames Pizazz used to attend Eastern Quaternary School. All his life, he had dreamed of being an engineer.
'Daddy, I am going to be an engineer,' he used to say to his mother.
'No!' she would cry. 'You must become an artist instead.'
But Lames was lame, and he went against the will of his father. Studying hard in school, Lames was accepted into Everest College for the Engineering Science program.
Lames worked hard to maintain his grades in Everest College. By the end of his four years at the prestigious institute, Lames had scrapped together a 51% average: just enough to get him a career in designing bridges.
'I am done,' Lames reported to his boss by the second month of work. 'Here is my bridge design.'
His boss quickly scanned his blueprints. 'Okay, let's try it.'
Lames' bridge was built, but it collapsed on the first day when over three cars went on the bridge. Over 9 million passengers were injured.
'Pathetic!' Lames' boss yelled afterwards in his office. 'Your work is garbage!'
'But I worked for two months on that design!' Lames cried. 'Doesn't that mean anything?'
'No!' his boss retorted. 'Our last bridge was designed in three weeks, and it has lasted us three years!'
'But, but-'
'Effort doesn't mean anything! Hasn't anyone told you that?'
Lames currently works for LEGO.
