I used to be a subscriber to an occasional e-mail from Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert.  In each e-mail, he’d devote a section to reader submissions of “managerisms”.  In the corporate world, catch phrases, such as “outside the box”, are constantly used…and overused.  The ones featured by Mr. Adams were sayings that had been butchered, and most of the time, they were spewed from the mouths of managers.

This weekend, I heard a couple that I thought would be worth sharing.

“There’s really no difference between these options.  It’s two in one, a half-dozen in the other.”
Well, actually, there is a difference, and it’s 4.  So are you trying to tell me that there really is a difference, or can you just not count?  Either way, I’m concerned.

“We can’t really understand other people unless we learn to see the world through their shoes”
I’ve always had a hard time looking through peoples shoes.  Heck, I can’t even see through mine.  And as a rule of thumb, I try to keep my face away from where people’s feet have been.
