ECSA Management & Head of Departments Discussion Room

I need at least 75% of the budget to install the most advanced GPS!

 

Oh Lordy, here I am hahaha. Are we sure we only have 500,000,000,000 Euros to work with?

 

We'll have to run experiments on the probability of baboons to write a Shakespeare sonnet, you know for the probability drive...do you realize just how expensive baboons are?

 

How much will an "infinite" number of monkeys and "infinite" number of typewriters cost us?

 

The intergaltic GPS that includes life form detector with hostility meter costs 375,000,000,000 we can't skimp on that!

 

Either I get a bigger budget or we'll have to skimp on that.

 

Will create a budget for these astronomical expenditures, pun intended.

 

No worries, we'll get research tax credits...

 

No he didn't. Had to pick up sister and take her to park to go run to prepare for Thanksgiving Day turkey trot race :lol:.

Budget will be on in 30 minutes.

 

And what about the Medical supplies?

GRAND TOTAL

£512,250,000,000

Plus slush fund.

 

What about my navigational equipment!!!!! I NEED 375,000,000,000 !!!

 

Can you shave that down a bit and maybe we can raise some money? I only have a half-trillion pound budget at the moment.

 

Man I wasn't the one who hired the lost one as navigator! But we can get one that simple navigates intergalactically for 500 billion no life sensors and the like just navigation

 

Whew! All this heavy capital expenditure! I think we're going to have to go public!

So...to which stock exchange should we be listed? And who's going to write the letter to Warren Buffett?

 

We could do a car wash and cake sale, that should raise the majority of the 375,000,000,000 of unspecified currency. I'm assuming it is Zimbabwe Dollars because otherwise we might need more than one car wash.
