A two-panel comic. Panel 1: A blonde woman leans urgently toward a group of seated colleagues and asks, "Quick! I need a term that actually means something very small, but which people think means something large and significant!" Panel 2: The same woman, now in a suit at a podium with her hand raised in triumph, declares, "This policy represents a quantum leap in education reform!" The joke: a quantum leap is literally a tiny change, but it sounds grand. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the woman smiling slyly as she adds, "But it will not require a quantum leap in cost."
