The company I work for had a strong bias towards PMI-ish project management. Once I was discussing some allocation issues and the project manager said we should allocate more "Java resources" (despite the fact the product in question did not use any Java code).

I fired back with a recapitulation of all the "resources" allocated to the project, the "PHP resources", the "design resources", the "testing resources" and, when it came to count him, I mentioned one "powerpoint resource".

It took him about 5 seconds to get the joke.
