Slightly pompous, pseudo-literati radio presenter, Kenneth Jupiter , interviews a variety of famous people, each of whom have just written a book.

Interview I: Professor Stephen Woolph. American Business Consultant and self-help guru

I found this an entertaining satire on the success-in-business industry.

I like some of the important sounding phrases, like 'vertical ordered applications to asynchronous platforms'.

But I think it is a little too long.

Sorry, I meant to get back to this when I had time to read it. Now I have.

It's funny. MVP is right - the text is too long for the joke. How about tightening it up, and giving it a brisker flow?

I have one tiny quibble: I understand that you want to blame this sort of stuff on Americans. No problem, although I've run into the type internationally. It's really funny when Germans do it...they make up lots of funny words...some of them are supposed to be English...

But I find the joke title “From Business Whinger to Business Ninja” more effective if pronounced in Received British.

Also, I've never known an American who used the word 'whinge', except for those of us who've picked it up on h2g2. Elektra suggested 'whine', I thought of 'bellyache', and of course 'kvetch'...
