I have a great SNAFU story. While I was working for a really picky boss, I used that word in a report. He objected and I said: if it’s in the dictionary can I use it? He said yes. It was in the dictionary (without revealing the acronym) and it went in the report. When I got home that night, I repeated the story to my husband who roared with laughter. When I asked what was so funny, he told me what it stood for. Best joke ever on that stupid jerk of a boss.</p> Heh. I have a great SNAFU story.
