Would anyone please help.
Another month ends. All targets met. All system working. All customers satisfied. All staff eagerly enthusiastic. All pigs fed and ready to fly.
I don't quite get what the last line means. Would you please explain it to me??
Thanks so much. |

Here's the Wikipedia entry for "a flying pig" or "when pigs fly"--an idiom that means something will never happen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_pigs_fly
My guess is that the person who made the statement is saying there will never be a month where all targets are met, all systems are working, all customers are satisfied and all staff eagerly enthusiastic. About the same chance as having pigs fly. |
