One of my old bosses - my favorite boss - defined a real emergency as one that, if not attended to immediately, resolves itself. Often gave as an example "I have to pee," vs. "I have to pee right now? How to tell them apart? Check again in 15 minutes.

Real emergencies are, by definition, short term. Only fake emergencies persist.

Ask Toad what happened to his vaunted Writ of Quo Warranto. He was very sure he had an iron tight case, but once the initial deadline passed it was cricket time; and Toad hopped off to stir another pot.

He strikes me as a guy who craves attention, producing very little!
