I think you may be confusing schizophrenia with MPD (multiple personality disorder). Someone who has MPD would be inclined to throw multiple bikes on the roof, in various ways. A schizophrenic would be inclined to throw a bicycle on the roof after the God of Bicycles told them to do so. ;)

Technically, a schizophrenic may or may not throw the bike on the roof depending on which polarity they were on. If under normal circumstances, then the bike tossing protocol would probably default to their profession as discussed above. If schizo at the time, then they would or would not depending on what the god of bicycles told them to do. ..just felt that needed to be made clear.. :p ;)

Paranoid: Afraid the bike is out to get him, Climbs on roof to avoid being caught by bike.

Bipolar: Prepares setting, gathers materials, goes shopping and buys expensive bike and just the right outfit for bike tossing. Buys several tools and impliments that might come in handy for the job. Picks up a few more items while standing in the check out line. Subscribes to "Bike Throwers Illustrated". Checks out a book and reads up on bikes and bike tossing. Calls several friends and throws a bike tossing party. Orders catering. Pays with credit card because he is now out of money.Throws bike on roof, carefully making sure that it is done to perfection.

Becomes depressed because he is sure he could have done a better job. Goes to bed for a week.

Norman Vincent Peale: Envision the bike succesfully located upon the roof :p

Existentialist: Contemplate the futility of attempting to hurl the bike onto the roof. Conclude that for him, the ideal is to throw bike behind bushes. Compose a poem about the experience. :D

Mid-level manager:
After several 9am meetings re: Project - Bike on Roof, decides to bring in an outside consultant. Consultant recommends hiring professional thrower who specializes in bikes. Professional thrower throws bike on roof, charges $5000 for 2 minutes work.

Johnny Knoxville:
Uses homemade catapult to throw bike onto roof, with him on it. Wearing panda suit and on fire, rides bike off roof into kiddie pool filled with sewage and razor blades.

Teamster:
Insists that, while throwing the bike onto the roof does fall within his job description, lifting the bike into position to be thrown does not. Asks that you bring in rep from local Lifters Union 582 for that segment of the job.
You will run afoul of both a common misconception and a family of bears.

General - orders bike on the roof. When the bike fails to comply, the general has the bike taken by overwhelming force. Operation declared a success, general awarded Bronze Star. :p
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

Lance Armstrong: Falls in crash with other cyclists, picks himself up, then sprints to the top of the roof to place himself more than 60 seconds ahead of his nearest competitor.

*sniggle* @ Sojourner :p


Six Sigma: Develope a team for evaluating the eficiency of current methods. Build a mock-up to scale of bike and roof. break down the process into as many steps as possible. Select each step and devise alternatives testing each variable against the standard. Plot efficiency of variables against non-variables one at a time. Rework combinations until each step has been designated as variable, and tested against standards of variation. Compute findings. Graph findings. Select most efficient variables and construct new protocol. Try to evaluate why bike no longer landson roof, but is hurled into neighbors yard. Designate project as human error. Return to previous designe. Fire team. Add reflectors to bike as safety measure.
declaire project a success. :eek: :D :p

LOL...Six Sigma is the new corporate quality control darling. Companies are hiring these guys to sit around, crunch numbers and brainstorm ways to improve efficiency.

LOL...The things they come up with usually cause as much confusion as anything else. :p

Here is another link.
:rolleyes: :p ;)
