Task Force (noun): a temporary grouping under one leader for the purpose of accomplishing a definite objective

Dr. H., who is a tenured faculty member at a largish university, sends this along for your amusement:

During the council meeting today, we had to elect representatives for the Strategic Task Force, whose mission is to read and organize [some stuff related to] the President's Strategic Plan (it's all very Dilbert).

The Dean took notes on the election on a whiteboard at the front of the room. At the top of the board, the Dean wrote, "Task Farce".

No one corrected him.
