Please advise is a new and exciting meme in the business world, it roughly translates to "I have no fucking clue what it is I am talking about, so you tell me what I need to know."

Origins

Back when the internets were singular and text-only, a writer (and actor and stuff) named Robert Benchley was sent to Venice on assignment for the New Yorker magazine.

When he got there, he sent his editor a telegram.

STREETS FULL OF WATER. PLEASE ADVISE.

Boy, with wacky quips like that on tap, those New Yorker guys ought to be writing for Uncyclopedia.
