Deadline

"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." - Douglas Adams

Nice one. Whooshing sound, if you like, is the only thing to like about deadlines.

Deadlines should be used the way they are meant to be. Deadline comes from a term used in prisons. It is said prisons used to have a line around the perimeter. If anyone tries to escape and crosses that line, it is fair to shoot at that person. Prior to that, all warnings should be given and person trying to escape should be allowed to stop. So, basically once the person crosses the deadline, it is a license to kill.

Raise (the rifle) to aim. Aim to shoot. Shoot to kill. Kill to eat (for hunters).

Cheers!
