'Why is it that nothing ever gets done at these meetings?'

"Why can't the rest of you be more like Rollins, here? He does his homework!"

"Your wonderful daughter and I would like to become engaged in F.Y. '97, married in F.Y. '98, and if the numbers look good, start a family in F.Y. '99."

'Ok, here's the meeting agenda ... it's gonna be a long one.'

'I went into that meeting with a hidden agenda and then forgot where I put it.'

'Good - we're finally all on the same rampage.'

"Yay, we have an agenda for today's meeting!"

"Okay, if that's all the finger pointing we have today, we can move on!"

'Someone come and mediate our argument about mediation!'

'Now that we all agree on the agenda, a show of hands on how many want to keep it hidden.'

"So what's on the agenda today? Let's see--nap, then count my spots, then nap again, then chase my tale, nap yet again, then beg for good, nap, scratch at the door, finally come in and find a spot to go to sleep. Just not enough time in the day."

"I'm going to the school board meeting."

"If there's no further old business, we'll move along to new business."
