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.

BULLSHIT BINGO

1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare your "Bullshit 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 fit

core competencies

best practice

bottom line

revisit

take that offline

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

(add your own, if needed)

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." ? Jack W., Boston

* "My attention span at meetings has improved dramatically." -- David D., Florida

* "What a gas! 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 waited for the fifth box." -- Ben G., Denver

* "The speaker was stunned as eight of us screamed "BULLSHIT!" for the third time in two hours."
