Bossy was right. Always. Invariably. She was limited only in that she had to have facts -- not assumptions -- with which to work. Given those facts, her conclusions and predictions were inevitably correct.
And that made Bossy a 'ticking bomb.'

| Author | Brant Hansen |
| ISBN | 0529123851 |
Not entitled to get angry? Really?
