Meeting Prints

We can't call it restructuring,we did that in '98 and'97...

"Well, I see everyone's coming to this meeting really ready to sit down and talk."

'Let's get some lunch in here. I don't trust my gut instincts on an empty stomach.'

Minimally Invasive Ethics.

Is this the kickoff meeting?

Man about dog: 'We'll be home soon. He's still doing his business.'

'I never get a good night's sleep. Thank God for these office meetings!'

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

"This time inflation really mean business."

'Usual prosheedure - hang the minutes of the last meeting!'

'What do you mean, we should join the men's movement and have a meeting? This is a meeting of the men's movement!'

'Sorry I'm late!'

"I'm sorry gentlemen, we seem to be experiencing some kind of limbo!"

"Well, we failed at pushing the envelope. Shall we catch Happy Hour and try filling the wine skin?"

"You're invited to our management excursion. Come dresses as a pinata."

'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."

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

"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."

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

"Can I savor this for a few moments? The ball's never been in my court before!"

"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."

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

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

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

"The data looks good, sir, but the vibes are mucho heavioso."

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

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

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

"I'm razzled, but not dazzled."

"Let's start with an icebreaker..."

"The meeting will come to order."
