The Plan Proceeds

If you've followed this blog for any time at all, you know that one of my life's ambitions is to leave a word, catchphrase or saying to the English language.

I have two contenders:

• Whomever said "the pen is mightier than the sword" never had to bet his life on it...
• ...and one which at long last I've seen in public:

  So, we were told and it was reported in the press that the problem was with SMS and that SMS customers wouldn't be able to deploy the patch, but the patch worked fine. Turns out the problem wasn't with SMS, but was with the MBSA and ITMU tools. Wait, what's this? ITMU is actually a tool within SMS! Why not just say, "Hey, the problem was with SMS", why the doublespeak? In the words of my friend Mitch Berg, "Your misdirection is as subtle and skillful as a German funk band"

It's fun when a plan comes together.
