How many TMTs maketh a man(ager)?

EDIT: Read to the end, be fair! There's a joke in there, I swear!
I've taken to rating everyone I talk to on a TMT scale:
  •  <5 TMTs/hour is young adult fiction, i.e. doesn't happen.
  • 5-10 TMTs/hour is tolerable and unfortunately commonplace.
  • 10-50 TMTs/hour is irritating but falls short of inducing murderous rages, but probably only because your manager clocks in at about 45.
  • Anything more is well, dangerous for both parties.
 If it's this high though:

It's either the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, or somebody you shouldn't talking to even if you're paid as much as the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. In either case, get out of there!

Here's another useful application of TMT rating someone: divide that rating by his/her age, and bam, you've got yourself a compatibility yardstick that's a darn sight better than any horoscope!

What's it though?
FYI, 1 TMT = Too Many TLAs. Since one TLA is one too many TLAs, for all practical purposes, 1 TMT = 1 TLA. HTH!
