    ISP, I love it! And it's for good reason that I love it. I have spend all my life spouting these cliches and buzzphrases from the platform and in my answers, and they mean absobloodylutely nothing. I've just been looking at my notes for some of my talks that I've given recently. And there they are, staring me in the face, and it just didn't occur to me how ludicrous they sound! That's conditioning for you.
