Kind of reminds me of what a co-worker told me many years ago about
the IT shop he worked in prior to the current job. Mgmt was anal
about hearing "the system is down" -- pretty much forbade the use of
the phrase. So the programmers put a rubber chicken on a stick. If
the chicken was "up", it meant the system was up. So you could tell
the status of the system by looking at the chicken. Ever since
hearing that story, whenever I see a report (kinda like this page from
the modem!) that summarises to the point of being useless, I think
"So, the chicken is up."
