A serious moment in cultural history occurred a few years ago, marking a significant takeover of public rhetoric by proles. I’m referring to gasoline trucks changing the warning word on the rear from INFLAMMABLE to FLAMMABLE. Widespread public education had at last produced a population which no longer recognized -in as an intensifier. The proles for whom the sign FLAMMABLE was devised will be impelled when they hear that something (like a book or a work of art) is invaluable to toss it into the trash immediately.

For all you hearty souls in the corporate world, I give you a little something-something to help get through your next meeting: Bullshit Bingo!

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

This game will leverage synergies and core competencies in a proactive manner while allowing you to embrace a paradigm- building networking opportunity with your fellow team members. That said, and at the end of the day, utilize best practices and JIT concepts in order to maximize your particular experience.
