Dr. Z. masters the art of English B.S. (Or, how fatcats talk)

You remember Dr. Z. He made the Chrysler commercials with his thick German accent. He was asked whether Chrsyler would be sold off by Daimler, and he had the perfect meaningless answer:


"It is also true that we need to keep all options open and that I cannot disclose any details," Mr Zetsche said, ahead of DaimlerChrysler's annual shareholder meeting in Berlin.

"We need to have the maximum scope for manoeuvre," he added. "This means, that after reviewing all options, we will finally decide for the option that best meets our criteria."


Hey, Doc, welcome to the wonders of what we English speakers call "Bullshit."
