The shutdown reminds me of this old joke
The different parts of the body were arguing over who should
be boss.
The brain argued that since he controlled all the muscles and
most of the hormones, he should be boss.
The legs claimed that since they took the body wherever it
wanted to go, they should be boss.
The stomach responded that since he turned all the food into
energy, he should be boss.
The eyes argued that without them, people couldn't see where they
were going.
Then the a**hole started to explain why it should be boss.
The other parts of the body laughed so hard the a**hole got angry,
shut down and stopped working.
After a few days the brain went fuzzy, the legs went wobbly, the
stomach got cramps, the eyes crossed and could barely
see.
All the other parts of the body gave up and the a**hole became
boss.
The joke goes along the lines that you don't have to be a
brain or have vision to be a boss.
You can do the connecting to the shutdown and who is who. It
makes me wonder, are there living creatures with multiple a**holes?
There are cloacas...
