Then a miracle occurs 

The standard method for having an unreasonable deadline met just in time. Usually quoted when the time given, staffing levels or design constraints will not be met in any other way.

Sam: "This project will take three months from beginning to end, design, develop and test."

Boss: "It's due in three weeks."

Sam: "Well, we take one week to train sixteen new people, one week to do all of the design work, and four days to write the code. Then a miracle occurs, and we ship just before the deadline."

Executive White Trash 

Executive White Trash are people who have white collar jobs, seem normal at the office, but then spend the weekend at monster truck rallies, drinking cheap beer and wandering through the woods, shooting at things.

"Why was Frank coming out of Wal-Mart with a new rifle and four bags of pork rinds on Saturday? He was wearing a NASCAR cap. I thought he was a programmer at IBM!"

"He's Executive White Trash, is what he is. His Beemer has a gun rack."
