as requested, i have started putting actual jokes in the
Post Your funny Jokes Here thread. i don't think this particular one falls into that category. if i'm mistaken, can a mod let me know?
HOW TO STAY AWAKE AT MEETINGS
1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call,
prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5"x 5" 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
(collective) results
lessons learned
24/7
out of the loop
benchmark
value-added
capacity building
win-win
think outside the box
fast track
results-driven
empower (or empowerment)
knowledge base
at the end of the day
collaborative/team approach
next steps
client focus(ed)
paradigm
horizontality
leverage and last but not least
MOVING FORWARD......
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!"
Testimonials from satisfied "BullShit Bingo" players:
"I had been in the meeting for only five minutes when I won."
-Paul D.,Caloundra
"My attention span at meetings has improved dramatically."
- David D.,Rockhampton
"The atmosphere was tense in the last process meeting as 14 of us
waited for the fifth box."
- Ben G., Sydney
"The speaker was stunned as eight of us screamed 'BULLSHIT!' for the third time in two hours."
- Kathleen L., Canberra

THE 10 TOP THINGS YOU WISH YOU COULD SAY AT A MEETING
I can see your point, but I still think you're full of shit.
I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a f*ck.
How about "never"? Is "never" good for you?
It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying.
I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
Ahhh, I see the f*ck-up fairy has visited us again.
You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.
I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
Are you coming on to me or having a seizure?
The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.

I always fall to sleep during meetings . . . but I am surely awake during 'matings' . . . .
