For those of you who do not fully understand what the Marketing Terminology for certain office products means, here is the current 'Product Name Generator Matrix' as used by many company's marketing departments: Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 0. integrated 0. management 0. options 1. overall 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. You think of a three-digit number at random and take the corresponding word from each column. Thus, 601 gives 'optimal management flexibility', 352 gives 'parallel logistical capability', and so on. Marketing claim that the generator gives its users 'instant expertise on matters pertaining to Communications Technology', enabling them to invest anything they write, not with any particular meaning, but with 'that proper ring of decisive, progressive, knowledgeable authority'. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An airline steward called Mr. Gay was using a pass flight on an underfilled USAir flight. When he boarded, however, there was someone sitting in the seat he had been assigned, so he took a seat a couple of rows back. Another flight was cancelled, so the airline started to move all the non-full-fare passegers off the plane to make room for those from the cancelled flight. A steward went to the seat that had been assigned to Mr. Gay and asked the young man sitting in it, "Are you Gay?". The young man nodded, and the steward replied, "I'm afraid you will have to get off the plane". At this point, Mr. Gay interrupted and said "No wait a minute, you have the wrong person, _I'm_ Gay". A young man sitting across the aisle jumped up indignantly and said "Well I'm gay too, they can't kick us ALL off this flight!". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ just thoguht id put ina joke but i catnt tyupe very well so beer weth nme.Q: hwuihe huehuiefhuwefy sodu hsupguhr huher?
