    Meet a deadline at work? Sacrifice something!

    I like it. Imagine you meet your group meets its project deadline so you get together in the lunch room and sacrifice a goat. That would be cool.

    "A crew of mechanics at Istanbul's airport were so glad to be rid of some trouble-prone British-made airplanes that they sacrificed a camel on the tarmac in celebration -- prompting the firing Wednesday of their supervisor."

    I sacrifice flying fish.
    The only thing worse than the feeling that you are going to die is the realization that you probably won't.

    I love how it's apparently a problem common enough that they need to action.
