Here's something my frien Yun sent me:

What Pentagon officials say -
And what they really mean:

Essentially Complete
It's half done

Risk is high but within acceptable ranges of risk:
100:1 odds, or with 10 times over budget using
10 times the people we said we'd employ.

Potential show stopper:
The team has updated their resumes.

Serious but not insurmountable problems:
It'll take a miracle...

Basic agreement has been reached:
The @##$%%'s won't even talk to us.

Results are being quantified:
We're massaging the numbers so that they will agree
with our conclusions.

Task force to review:
7 people who are incompetent at their regular jobs
have been loaned to the project

Not well defined at this time:
Nobody's even thought about it; nobody has a clue.

Still analyzing the requirements:
See previous answer: "Not well defined at this time...:

Not well understood:
Now that we've thought about it,
we don't want to think about it anymore

Requires further analysis and management attention:
Totally out of control!

Results are promising:
Turned power on and no smoke detected - this time...

You mean that's not what everyone means when they say those things?

Tisk Tisk, talking trash about the Pentagon....

Maybe you'd like to defend yourself against an Iraqi tank division?

Actually I have friends who work for the government who agree with the list, and yes one of them works for the DOD, actually he was a professor and he is still is under several gag orders
