[casual_games] A little humor on a Friday

[Thomas H. Buscaglia]

Seems to me the real problem is deciding when to 
just pull the plug and have someone else do the 
work.  References can help a little, but they are 
not going to give you their ddsappointed customers as references anyway.

It's just a tough situation.
