Boardroom Jokers Gifts

"By a clear majority of the board, Peter is this year's designated executive-on-the-rise who flies to close to the sun and then crashes spectacularly to Earth, conveniently diverting media and public attention from the rest of us!"

'A good idea, Fletcher? So was your last one. Which, I recall, brought us to the brink of bankruptcy!'

'Yes, it is a stressful job.'

'If I had to use one word to describe our strategy.'

'Surely you wouldn't want me to laugh at your joke if I didn't think it was funny!'

"I was hoping this presentation would be more interesting upside down."

'It's a chart of office morale. This is where you went on vacation.'

"Here's what I'm gonna do."

"I'm afraid 'It's a surprise', doesn't cut it as a growth strategy."

'Our product flooded the market... Before backing up a deluge of consumer complaints!'

"I hate performance review season."

"Mr. Johnson, Bob is kicking me under the table!"

"Who wants to hear a funny story about the third quarter?"

'The shareholders have voted you off the board. We don't feel you're tough enough. On the bright side, you've won this year's Miss Congeniality award.'

'Now that we've defined 'happy deficits' let's try it out on the stockholders.'

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

'I've given a lot of thought to giving some thought to your latest proposal.'

'These are the end of year figures recollected in tranquility.'

"Tell the vice presidents they've downsized enough."

"All we have to fear is fear itself and unmet quarterly projections."

'I really wish you guys would knock that off.'

'The good news is we're projecting a profit. The bad news is, none of us will be alive then.'

"That's a Hula Hoop. I asked you to find a loophole."

'All those in doubt, raise your eyebrows.'
