His predecessor tells him as he prepares to leave for the last time that when he gets into trouble that he has left three envelopes that will help but that they should be used one at a time. Things go along okay for a while and then trouble pops up. The guy opens the first envelope and reads, "Blame previous management." He does and things go better for a while. When things get bad again he opens the second envelope and reads, "Re-organize". This makes things better for a while, but sure enough he finds himself reaching for the third envelope. Inside he finds, "Prepare three envelopes" The line about blaming the previous administration reminded me of a classic joke:
