For example:

EXPERT1: The budget is fubar.
EXPERT2: This budget is a disaster.

WRITER: Experts warn the budget is not perfect.




...or consider:

IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE PLAN

And then came the Assumptions
And the Assumptions were without Substance

And Darkness was upon the Face of the Workers
And they spake amongst themselves, saying
“It is a Crock of Shit and it Stinks”

And the Workers went unto their Supervisors and said
“It is a Pail of Dung and none may abide the Odor thereof”

And the Supervisors went unto their Managers and said unto them
“It is a container of Excrement and it is very Strong
such that none may abide it”


And the Managers went unto their Vice-Presidents and said
“It is a Vessel of Fertilizer and none may abide by its strength”

And the Vice-Presidents spake among themselves saying one to another
“It contains that which aids Plant Growth and it is very strong”

And the Vice-Presidents went unto the President and said unto him
“It promotes Growth and it is very powerful”

And the President went unto the Board of Trustees and said unto them
“This new Plan will promote the Growth and Efficiency of this Company
and in these Areas in particular...”


And the Board of Trustees looked upon the Plan
And they saw that it had had Input From All Levels
And they agreed among themselves that it was Good
And the Plan was Implemented
