Why have we stopped with words, why not adding annoying phrases? Here is
what I consider the most annoying phrase of the year: But wait, there's
more!

Thought of another one. Downsize - but wait, this is good.
When I was in the AF, I got an "official" message one day that said all
of our 3/4-ton trucks would be "downsized" to 1/2-ton trucks. Excuse
me? Were they going to put them thru a REALLY hot carwash to shrink
them? No, the intention was that the big ones would be turned in and
replaced with the smaller. But that's not what the message said - only
that we should "downsize" the trucks.
Good grief.
