<p>When I was recently at MSRI, they had a big poster of humorous advice on how to get an NSF proposal rejected (for example: "Definitely don't worry about sending it to an appropriate program officer. Surely it will find its way to the right person eventually."). I thought it was a very good summation of how to write a proposal. But I just tried to find it on Google, and failed (probably because I'm not remembering what the real title was).</p>
