From buddy Wed Apr 24 17:24:12 1996 Date: Wed, 24 Apr 1996 17:24:07 Subject: The Buzzphrase Generator THE BUZZPHRASE GENERATOR A kindly gentleman, after a seminar in Canada, gave me this gem. We can all use it to write impressive reports to the systems analysts and "E-Ring" experts in the Pentagon. It all started as a TIC (Tongue In Cheek) aid for preparing speeches and briefings. The new invention, known as a buzzphrase generator, gives its prime practitioners what amounts to instant expertise on matters pertaining to defense. The buzzphrase generator consists of three columns of buzz-words numbered zero to nine. Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 0. integrated 0. management 0. options 1. total 1. organizational 1. flexibility 2. systematized 2. monitored 2. capability 3. parallel 3. reciprocal 3. mobility 4. functional 4. digital 4. programming 5. responsive 5. logistical 5. concept 6. optimal 6. transitional 6. time-phase 7. synchronized 7. incremental 7. projection 8. compatible 8. third-generation 8. hardware 9. balanced 9. policy 9. contingency The procedure is simple. Think of any three-digit number at random. Then select the corresponding buzz-word from each column. Put them together and PRESTO! You sound just like you know what you're talking about.
