Here are your amusing stories:
The sign read:
“Free Chairman with every six gallons purchased!”
Sales of Gobbledegook’s Green Ginger Beer sky-rocketed.
Tony:
The chairman spoke gobbledegook at the sale,
words swirling like smoke—no truth, just profit’s pale tale.
After 20 minutes of corporate gobbledygook, the attendees had dozed off, so the sleazy chairman announced the sale.
Nicola Daly:
‘Who’s spouting this nonsense?’
‘Severus Sale – Chairman of the Gobbledegook Society.’
‘Oh. I thought it was a politician.’
With the sale of the company completed, the chairman’s gobbledegook had been heard for the last time. Celebration!!!!!
She could only understand gobbledegook when the chairman talked about sales pitch. She dreamt of becoming a writer.
“Gobbledegook sale on nooowww…” The advertising chairman sang the sales jingle using the catchy Chim Chim Cheree tune.
Chairman Gobbledegook put the company up for sale.
“But why would you do that!?”
“Gobble, gobble, gobble.”
The chairman spoke such gobbledegook that when he wanted a sale we took him to the boating lake.
When gobbledegook goes on sale, the chairman hides under his desk because the crazies come out in droves.
He scribbled gobbledegook onto a cardboard, then ‘Sign For Sale’. There he sat … the chair-man on the corner.
The flustered Chairman bellowed to all. Get that Gobbledegook off the wall for tomorrow’s Founder’s Day Summer Sale.
The chairman grew tired from the gobbledegook. He asked, “Do you expect to get sales this way?”
“Remember that gobbledygook that Sharon poured into a pan and served at the bake sale,” the chairman asked.
Squirreljan:
Chairman Bighead for sale – £2 ONO, but no takers yet. He needs to stop talking constant gobbledegook.
Chairman of “Gobbledegook” announced record sales figures.
Trump had bought the ideas to use as his main policies!
The chairman of the museum said, “This book of memoirs is gobbledygook. It’s definitely not a sale item.”
The chairman spouting gobbledegook suggested the sale be “Buy one, get eighteen free.” Limburger Cheese was on sale.
Murray Clarke:
The chairman rose unsteadily to his feet, saying: “Rumours that the company is for sale are utter gobbledegook!”
“Gobbledegook!” the chairman yelled at his team when the sale fell through. “I want results, not excuses, dammit.”
The chairman rose to comment on the charity sale. After some gobbledegook he face planted the rubber chicken.
The terms of sale were nothing but gobbledegook, and the chairman made a killing on the stock market.
I was surprised the chairman didn’t know how to write his sales copy so it read like gobbledegook.
Our chairman always talked gobbledegook, the key to his success. My straight talking never secured even one sale.
Show tickets on sale?? Fuhgeddaboudit!! There’s only one Chairman of the Board so quit this Sinatra impersonator gobbledegook!
