WHO'S SOLVING THE PROBLEM?
The following is an example of -WHO’S NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM!!! There were four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was a serious problem to be solved, and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could and should have done.
