Some people in the D.C. area pride themselves on their ability to decode the wealth of acronyms that substitute for the English language in our nation’s capital.

Quote of the Week

Meeting at the Pentagon, during slide number 36 of 51:
Presenter: “At the end of the day, Lean Six Sigma is a process that will eliminate waste from your processes and products.”
Audience member: “I take it that you forgot to apply it to this briefing.”
(Dead silence for almost a full minute.)
Presenter: “Next slide.”
