Neil, the string >Tips Cross +functional +Team +joke< got 1,152 hits on

A pretty good one is at:
http://www.gis.net/~shuster/jokes1.html
The gist of it is: "After some time and millions of dollars, the consulting
firm concluded that "too many people were steering and not enough rowing.""
It has been around for a while--a favorite of mine though because it is so
accurate.

"Team work" is an oxymoron at:
http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks/pub/lists/oxymorons
Should be able to build one with that.

That leaves only 1,150 to review.

One of my own is "We will proceed at full speed--in a direction to be
determined later."  (Copyright (c) Ray Martin 1978-1998."   You're welcome
to it.

How about "One hundred percent of my clients rated me superb in 1997.  Bot
I've always been on good terms with my brother-in-law."
