Mary Fetsch told KPAM news yesterday (helpfully transcribed by Assistant producer Nick),
"[Riders] are actually feeling better when they ride transit more often because they get exposed to more, you know, bacteria and different things they said, 'I have fewer colds when I ride transit because I've just been exposed to more and my body's, you know, immune system is stronger.' So you know, it's really interesting, being part of, you know, out in the community, umm, you know, you're gonna come across these kinds of, uhh, you know, more bacteria and different things, but also, it's helpful to the body as well."Someone really came up to her and said thanks for the cooties? Really?

6 "You Knows" in that short little excerpt. She needs to brush up on her speaking skills, we got rid of "Um" Fred, so shed better clean it up!
Apparently our Mary Festch is in for life.
It's not what you know, it's who you know.

The Peter Principle states that "in a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence", meaning that employees tend to be promoted until they reach a position at which they cannot work competently. It was formulated by Dr. Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull in their 1969 book The Peter Principle, a humorous [1] treatise which also introduced the "salutary science of hierarchiology."
The principle holds that in a hierarchy, members are promoted so long as they work competently. Eventually they are promoted to a position at which they are no longer competent (their "level of incompetence"), and there they remain, being unable to earn further promotions. Peter's Corollary states that "in time, every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out their duties" and adds that "work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence". "Managing upward" is the concept of a subordinate finding ways to subtly "manage" superiors in order to limit the damage that they end up doing.
