In Response To: Re: Why software reps shouldnt try to use parables (Mike)

: I see someone's been living in a small town his whole life and never had to
: deal with the realities of large metropolitan areas.

: Imagine, for a minute, that your friend is over 15 miles away, the "rush
: hour" starts at 3pm and runs until 7pm, with different sections of
: road congested at different times, but not in any appreciable pattern that
: you could discern until you're on an affected section.

: Imagine, for a minute, that the parking around your friends house is free
: during certain hours, illegal during others, and paid-by-the-minute during
: the rest. Then imagine a 10% chance being able to FIND a spot, even during
: the illegal times.

: Welcome to Chicago.

Or Atlanta. God, I'm glad I don't have to deal with THAT, anymore.

: Matt's parable makes perfect sense.

True dat.
