Rules  of the Evil  Overlord #45.  "I will  make sure  I have  a clear
understanding of who  is responsible for what in  my organization. For
example, if my  general screws up I will not draw  my weapon, point it
at him,  say "And here is  the price for failure,"  then suddenly turn
and kill some random underling." <http://www.eviloverlord.com/>
