How You Can Tell Your Bureaucracy Is Very, Very Large

Our local Evel Knievel of the skateboard, Danny Way, went to China to jump the Great Wall at Ju Yong Guan Gate. He did it four times, three times with 360-degree spins mid-air. Rock on, Danny! What leapt out at me from the article, though, was this tidbit:

"A crowd of several thousand people, including China's ministers of extreme sports and culture..." I really want to see a picture of that minister...think he's got a Mao tatt and dyed red hair?

Simplified version for the uncool kids:

In reading a news story, I was interested to learn that China's government appears to have one or more ministers of "Extreme Sports and Culture."

That struck me as an unusual cabinet position for a world power to have in its government.

Wouldn't it be funny if those ministers had some unusual physical characteristics commonly associated with the Extreme Sports culture? I think it would.

I think I shall have my title refer to the fact that China is historically famous for having a large bureaucracy.
