Organizational Games

I was having a discussion with some contracting folks on the problem of getting information from either contractors or program offices.  This one person described a discussion that had me in stitches.  Their description of the exchange reminded me of the following clip.  How many of these kinds of conversations have happened in your organizations?  Anyone younger than 40-45 may not know this routine, but it is one of the true classics of comedy.  For your viewing pleasure.
