The example in this post is a real ticket at $DAYJOB, for an application used for running small, in-person collectable card game competitions. I have edited it to remove proprietary and/or extraneous information, but it is otherwise unchanged.
Diplomacy
· One min read
A coworker relayed this definition of diplomacy:
Diplomacy is the art of of telling people to go to hell in such a way that they ask for directions
This is a variation of a common quote, typically misattributed to Winston Churchill.1
The earliest version was posted anonymously to the "St. Louis Star-Times" in 1937.2
A diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a tactful way that you’ll look forward with pleasure to making the trip.
