My first encounter with MBA-types was as an undergraduate at Columbia. I
witnessed an astonishing argument over the use of some lawn space. The
argument was between a class of business students and a bunch of volleyball
players. Apparently my friends and I took up too much room on "their" field
and the teaching assistant or professor or whomever was teaching the class
that day ranted and raved and behaved like a spoiled child. We sat down and
watched her finish her class then continued our usual daily routine of
playing volleyball on that field. (they were playing croquet. ) We later
learned the class lecture was about negotiation.

I thought that was hilarious.

Spoken by someone who, I suspect, has never completed an MBA program.

It seems to be the major "thought curve" of the MBA schools, right after
"bean counting", is "excuse making".
