He certainly has a talent for putting things into discomfortingly sharp perspective. Love the Ferrari and AM comments.
If you missed it, there's a link at the end to read his other reviews, including the 8 of course - also funny <runs hand over his number 1>.

Of course, there's always the "I've just been diagnosed with cancer" card
but this is best played when you REALLY, REALLY need it. Lay it on the table too often and they see you as a health risk and never promote you. Have you considered just doing it?
It's often far easier to do this than to get around not having done it.

It's often far easier to do this than to get around not having done it. The correct answer to the "what are the risks" question is "That's a good question, and thinking about it, it's quite complex. I'll prepare a risk assessment study"
This acknowledges and compliments the manager, and creates a further procrastination excuse for any other manager ("I have to prepare a risk assessment study for X, which is why I can't do anything for you") The "diagnosis with cancer" excuse is plainly unethical. An expert always contains the context of the procrastination to the task or project itself. Besides, the expert procrastinator used the cancer diagnosis several times in primary school, and still remembers the pain following discovery
Just doing it!!?? WTF! We would never have won the war on that basis, you know -- just rolling over. The whole idea is abhorrant.
Effective procrastination requires clear strategies and well-prepared tactics, marshalling of resources and planning for meetings. To truly achieve in procrastination, you must be resolute in your goal of never, ever doing it
