The most outrageous moments of my career

pick 3 numbers and combine the words,  then you created a document like:

Starting with 'The 374  was 263  in the first part by the 936 in the second.' in
which you pick 3 numbers and combine the words,  then you created a document like:

The sequential underlying problem was ultimately uniformly discovered in the first part by
the relative modulating oscillator in the second.

What you got in the end was a random document that was nonsense but initially looked very impressive.

We created one of these with about a page and a half of nonsense and sent it to our boss.

He was so impressed that he sent it in turn to his boss!

Random text generators where all the rage in the 80s. I have seen ones for business reports, hardware/software commercial brochures, Physics PhD theses, and Shakespeare plays.
Unless noted otherwise, code in my posts should be understood as "coding suggestions", and its use may require more neurones than the two necessary for Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V.
