This is called "#*!@ Bingo"
Okay, I'll try this: B--ls--t Bingo
Do you keep falling asleep in meetings? 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, or conference call,
> prepare your "#*!@ Bingo" card by drawing a square. I find that 5" x
> 5" is a good size -- and dividing it into columns --five across and five
> down. That will give you 25 1-inch blocks.
>
> 2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
> synergy
> strategic plan
> core competencies
> team player
> bottom line
> revisit
> take that off-line
> 24/7
> out of the loop
> benchmark
> value-added
> proactive
> win-win
> outside the box
> fast track
> result-driven
> empower (or empowerment)
> knowledge base
> 110%
> at the end of the day
> touch base
> mindset
> client focus(ed)
> ballpark
> game plan
>
> 3. Check off the appropriate box when you hear one of those
> words/phrases.
>
> 4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally,
> stand up and shout "#*!@!"
>
> Testimonials from satisfied "#*!@ Bingo" players:
> * "I had been in the meeting for only five minutes when I won." -- Jack
> W., Boston
> * "My attention span at meetings has improved dramatically." --David D.,
> Florida
> * "What fun! Meetings will never be the same for me after my first
> win." --Bill R., New York City
> * "The atmosphere was tense in the last process meeting as 14 of us

> * "The speaker was stunned as eight of us screamed "#*!@!" for the
> third time in two hours." --Kate L., Atlanta

Just a little note to let you know that I noticed this. If I didn't hang out with homeless people and almost homeless (but for a paaycheck) people I would've certainly passed this along.
THere is one guy I could pass this to but contact would mean one more year of marriage proposals and I'm not in the mood.<s>
