Spare parts of an elephant: "Trunk, ears and a hyppopotamus"

Project Manager (PM): "This is the programmer's approach to implementation of
modular solutions"

Implementation:

Take a hyppo, hang a trunk and ears on it.
Kick programmer's ass, who stuffed trunk in the ass.
Get a complaint from the customer, that when there's strong wind, the ears
cover the eyes.
Get a complaint from the customer, that trunk starts between the eyes, but
still ends up in the ass.
Kick programmer's ass for him to swap ears right to left and finally pull
trunk out of the ass.
Get complaint from the customer that when the elephant is eating, the trunk
falls off.
Kick programmer's ass, for he forgot to check trunk's connection and swapped
the ears again.
We spot that the tunk is ok, but is turned inside out.
Get a complaint that together with the trunk the tail moved to the head as
well, and ears can her only from 9am to 11am.
In the end, we spot that instead of a hyppo we took a child of a giraffe.. oh
well, screw it, nobody wants the hassle anymore... maybe in the next version.

Programmer(Pr): I haven't been given a detailed analysis of the hyppo
internals and also I haven't seen his family tree to the 4th generation.
Customer(Cu): Ok, i like it all, but... hm... Maybe a kangoroo? Maybe you'll
add a bag in the front and remove the trunk?
AD: The bag wasn't in the initial specifications, quoting then.
PM: Yeah, sure, we'll make it all, but that is an extra modification, which
will cost you.. mmm. Programmer, how long will it take you to make a kangoroo
out of an elephant?
Pr: Fuck, you IDIOTS! I needed the precise specifications from the start! I
refuse to work like this!
PM: Programmer, HOW LONG?!?!
Pr: Well, 2 days..
PM: Riiight, 4 days * $200... We need $1200 more!
Cu: $1200 to make a skippie out of an elephant?!?!?
PM: $1000
Cu: OK, but can i have it with horns?
PM: Programmer?
Pr: 1 more day
PM: $250 more
Cu: Screw you, leave the horns out... I said from the beginning I needed
horns!

Pr: OK, everything is ready... But... I have some horns here... Remove?
PM: Remove.
Pr: Fuck, one more day.
PM: Ready.
Cu: OOoook... Umm, why does it have 2 tails and a trunk?
PM: Shit
Pr: Shit
PM: Corrected
Cu: Umm, where's the tail now?
Pr: Shit
PM: Corrected
Cu: OK, I get it... But can I have it with horns after all? Let it be $250
extra.
PM: Programmer, correct this.
Pr: #$%#$%@@!#$#%$%@#$@#$, it took me 1 day to remove the horns! I NEED EXACT
SPECIFICATIONS!!!
Pr: Ready..
PM: Done.
Cu: Cool, but normally 2 horns is enough, remove the 3rd one pls.
PM: Fuck
PM: Corrected.
Cu: Again the ears closing the eyes! Remove!
PM: It was in the specs, $250 to remove!
Cu: Argh, screw you all...
