Funny Stuff - Solutions - How to Stay Awake at Meetings
======================================================================

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.

	Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5"x 5" is a good size. Divide the card into columns, five across and five own. That will give you 25 one inch blocks.


	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)


	* paradigm


	* game plan


	* leverage


	Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words / phrases.


	When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULL SHT!"


	Testimonials from satisfied "Bull Sht Bingo" players:


	* "I had been in the meeting for only five minutes when I won." -Paul S., Canberra


	* "My attention span at meetings has improved dramatically." - Barry H.,Rockhampton


	* "The atmosphere was tense in the last process meeting as 14 of us waited for the fifth box." - Stuart H., Adelaide


	* "The speaker was stunned as eight of us screamed 'BULL SHT!' for the third time in two hours." - Kathleen F., Perth
