Google returns some gems:
"At Coldwell Banker Lunsford, our philosophy is simple. We bring people together. "
"Our Philosophy is that our first priority is to ensure the long-term health, wellbeing and longevity of your beloved pet through our superior and natural nutrition"

I'm not sure what these guys think "our philosophy" means ("our strategy"? "our adverrtising slogan"?) but they're pissing me off.
