      If a Barbarian casts "Rage", he will have access to the skills Taunt and Furious Strike. When a Company Man casts "Busy", he will have access to the skills "Get to the point" "I'm Implying This Isn't Important Enough For Me" and "Sorry I Missed This (Not Really)"

      The reason we step aside for busy people is because the only *real* business any of us have is going on our personal journeys. We step aside for those who can convince us that they really are "On a Mission".
