BINGO at work

[PocketThunder]

Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? What about those
long and boring conference calls? Here's a way to change all of that.

1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, workshop or conference
call, prepare yourself by drawing a square --  5"x5" is a good size.
Divide the card
into columns -- five across and five down. That will give you 25
one-inch blocks.

2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:

synergy
strategic fit
core competencies
best practice
bottom line
revisit
take that off-line
24/7
out of the loop
benchmark
value-added
proactive
win-win
think outside the box
fast track
result-driven
empower (or empowerment)
knowledge base
at the end of the day
touch base
mindset
client focus(ed)
ballpark
game plan
leverage

3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those
words/phrases.

4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally,
stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"

--Kathleen L., Atlanta

Better yet build yourself a prototype and you'll become a rich man.  Unfortunatley that wouldn't go over too well for me when the Admiral is on the other end holding the conference.  Neat idea though.
