Firefighting bungle wastes millions of dollars
To cut costs, the Department of Sustainability and Environment leased Nissan Patrol utilities that were unsuitable.
They are now banned from the rough bushland where the department is responsible for fighting fires.
The State Government is refusing to reveal how much money has been wasted on the useless vehicles.

It's all about the coffee cups sometimes and other treats that the sales folks give out to entice whoever makes the decisions in regard to apparatus and equipment purchasing. I know this from working as a logistics officer where we actually had two pallets of latex gloves sitting in the warehouse, even though we all knew that latex allergies were important to factor in. Why? It's called large breasted female sales folks that seem to have some folks by the balls, literally. If this isn't justification for women to handle all sales folks then nothing is... I'm not sure if this is why someone made the decision to buy too much of something that wasn't really a good idea, but you just can't fight the way men think and how defenseless they are when confronted by large breasts and women who use these accessories to get what they want. This should come as no surprise to anyone here.
It's not a mystery that most men are not equipped to think with the right "head"... It's a fact... and total justification to place more women into positions where they can make the right choice... pun kind of intended here, because men are slime... and I'm am purposely making fun of how stupid we (men) act and behave sometimes.
Am I wrong here? Is my perspective distorted and biased from personal experience? Have I crossed the line, offending anyone? Probably... but it's true, right? It's also the reason we procreate... We (men) can't help ourselves and will buy what ever is being sold sometimes.
If you doubt any of this, ask yourself, why is Jersey Shore so popular? Could it be Snooki's cleavage? And we are not talking "boob" cleavage alone, "butt" cleavage is just as powerful.
Pushing the envelope...

While some men, the weak and pathetic ones, will buy products because some large breasted woman is pushing them using her feminine charms, I refuse to believe the majority of stupid decisions made in purchasing come from that. Your post may have been made in jest Mike, I am not sure and won't try to speculate further on it.
The sad truth is most of these idiotic decisions are made by some penny pinching dumb ass sitting in their ivory tower. They have not one single damn clue about the REAL job being done, yet they believe in their infinite wisdom that they know best what we need to do the job. They look at the bottom line, figure this is good enough and the next thing you know you have wasted millions of dollars.
Mike, while I appreicate a pretty girl as much as the next guy, the day I let a pair of boobs and a pretty face decide what I am going to buy will be a sub zero degree day in Hell.
By the way, I fucking hate Jersey Shore and Snookie is a skank that I would gladly let you have if you desired her!

Interesting take on it Mike. I'm with Don though- it's about uninformed decisions made by bean counters and other managers who have no clue....

First off, my whole point here was to make fun of what unfortunately I have witnessed first hand by a local company that sells latex gloves, using boobs to do business. I have also seen past chief officers come back from trade shows with coffee cups and signed purchase orders that resulted in purchasing crap. The only solution is to form and use an apparatus/equipment committee to research and make recommendations. This takes away any possibility of sex being part of the equation. And Don, Snookie is a skank that more than likely lost weight due to a STD. Having three daughters means that the show is discussed more than I would care to admit. I still don't understand the fascination other than the skank factor and constant display of boobage.

Sometimes... But use of cleavage is a given for some women to use to get what they want...

I can flip that the other way- I worked for a fire protection company some years ago and the most successful salesman was a chronic ball scratcher!
He did it that often that we all thought it was done subconsciously without him even realising! He'd be talking and then reach down,do a shift and a scratch and not miss a beat in his sales pitch and discussions!!!!
Very unnerving when talking to him. And you were always wary of shaking his hand...

Wow, sounds like this guy had balls. Maybe he should have considered working for Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream... I'm sure he would be a hit when it comes time to selling Boner Buzz or Schweddy Balls Ice Cream...
