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, or conference call,
>prepare your "Bull**** Bingo" card by drawing a square -- I find that 5" x
>5" is a good size -- and divide 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 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 "BULL****!"

We did that in Electrical Engineering lectures in college. The Prof. had a whole bunch of funny signature sayings.

I am going to try this. It sounds like the perfect way to hang on in meetings.

Ahhh, yes...The old "Cliche" Bingo...
It's what college is for, Right Jana?
