SOME OF MY friends started a company built around an innovative idea for an online business. A debate broke out about what to name the venture.

Everyone thought the idea over for a minute, and then a voice of reason replied, “Are you sure you want your business card to read ‘Imagination, Limited’?”

SOME YEARS AGO I worked at a bank in Kerala. The regional office had sent a letter to the branch manager regarding the annual audit. The letter stated that the remarks in the reply could either be ‘noted’ or ‘confirmed’. Not sure how to point out the unrectified irregularities, the branch manager responded, “noted to confirm”.
