"There's no 'me' in team!" exhorted the consultant.
"Yes there is," replied a co-worker, "There's a 'M' and an 'E' - that makes 'me'"
Other co-workers nodded their agreement with mutterings of "He's right, you know" and "How much are we paying this guy?" and "Is it time for a break? Only I'm dying for a cup of tea"

I'm currently at the mercy of management handbooks. One chap stared at me for a good 5 minutes before saying "Hmmm, I can't work out if you're a banana or a fish."

It appears that the same effect can be achieved by reading a book of management bollocks instead.
