Meeting People Pillows

Rugby...simply a great way to meet people.

"Quick! Remind me - are they handshakers, huggers, single kissers, or kissers on both cheeks?"

Networking

'What bothers me about these meetings is even though it's work, I have the nagging feeling I ought to leave and get back to work.'

"Looks like we found the issue."

"Bert, I'm confused. What happens after we circle the wagons, tighten our belts and walk a mile in our customer's shoes? Is that when the chickens come home to roost?"

"I'm going to bombard you with graphs until you agree with me."

"These projections don't make sparkles shoot out my ass."

"So the plan is to fly everyone for free. But we'll charge $400.00 per bag."

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

'Finally! A meeting with one of the bigwigs.'

"I'd say we were pretty much on target."

"How's everybody doing? I'm not boring you, am I?"

"If I might be serious for a moment..."

'The efficiency expert's recommendation is we drink more coffee!'

Can't Do the Math/Won't Do the Math.

'I vote we hang the darn thing upside down and go home!'

'It has come to my attention that we need to hedge against our five-year plan.'

"It's a memo from the legal department reminding us to (heh-heh), 'keep our noses clean'."

"Yes, I'm from London. 'Which part?' you ask. Well all of me!"

"I'm razzled, but not dazzled."

"The meeting will come to order."

"I need to see your budget proposal."

"The good news is that we do have a little wiggle room."

'I'm sorry, but everyone is in a meeting.'

'Ah, Galagher, we made good use of your proposal.'

'That last meeting was a complete turn-off.'

"I'll wait a moment for everyone's energy drink to kick in."

"It's been moved that we adjourn for an afternoon nap. Is there a second?"

'Hey, look, I can stand up and shout, too!'

"Nervous about this morning's presentation?"

"Here, we do not procrastinate, we 'table' things."

"A dozen eggs and a pint of semi-skimmed...Sorry, looks like I left my presentation in my other coat."

"I was hoping there'd be no meetings here."

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