Epilogue


What....? There’s no time left to finish my speech on the ISMS History .............?  Well, I must have been misconfused about how long I had to speak!

Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you enjoyed my talk on the history of the ISMS and, unlike Ronald Reagan, I hope I didn’t make any unpresidented remarks. I’m just sorry that I didn’t have time to include one single isms quote during my speech.

Never mind, I hope to see you all at next year’s annual AGM at which time we are hoping to present our thoughts on Soft Isms Mythology in the workplace. See you all then. (At this point the Professor was escorted from the stage by two men in white coats!)

Chairman's note: Never fear! Just because the President was taken away for a rest, this is not the end. As we continue to piece together the incomplete and utter history of the ISMS we will add additional chapters to this website as they become available; we generally update for each additional 50 isms or so. Look out for more thrilling instalments.
