I remember once borrowing a friend's MBA textbook to see what it was all about. I opened to a random page which turned out to be in a chapter on negotiating strategies. There was an offset bit of text that read "your skill at negotiating will affect the outcome of the negotiations."

It should be DUH rather than MBA. Maybe "Doctorate of Unabashed Hyperbole".
