In the pipeline

Sometimes I'd love to be paid in pipeline dollars. 
All these hundreds of millions of pipeline dollars the sales guys at the Mistake Factory are dreaming up every day. 
Even by taking a very very very small cut for making these pipeline dollar dreams come true, I'd be stinking rich. 
But in the real world I am just massively overworked. And not getting enough actual dollars for the work done. And being taken for a ride.
