The Daily Feather — “Utah! Get me two!”

According to the ever-reliable Merriam-Webster, hyperbole is a literary and rhetorical device defined as extravagant exaggeration. In Hollywood, hyperbole is often born of improvisation. Take 1991’s Point Break starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. As good as some of the lines were, it was co-star Gary Busey who’s credited with one of the movie’s most quotable quotes: “Utah! Get me two!” Juan Hernandez from theinertia.com took umbrage with the line, ranting: “Don’t agree ‘Utah! Get me two’ is possibly the most overrated movie quote ever? It wasn’t even in the script. And yes, there’s beauty in improvised moments, but this one should really just be chalked up to the fact that anything born of Gary Busey’s stream of consciousness always has entertainment value. The man is a walking non-sequitur, which is what makes Gary Busey Gary Busey, but that alone shouldn’t make an offhanded request for [meatball] sandwiches the film’s most memorable moment.”

Over the years, the ADP employment report’s reputation as a reliable predictor of nonfarm payrolls (NFP) has withstood its fair share of overrated criticism. It doesn’t matter that ADP’s payroll data covers more than 500,000 companies and is more than four times greater than the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ establishment survey sample size. It’s missed the bullseye too many times.
