'Now that I have your attention...'

"Sir, here is your speech for the shareholders' meeting..."

"Does anyone know where the leadership training is taking place?"

'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."

'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'."

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

'Before we start, shall we go round the table, and each share our name and a horrible dark secret from our past.'

"That's six 'noes' and one 'aye', the ayes have it"

"At least we are consistently inconsistent."

'This prediction has a margin of error of plus or minus fifteen...fifteen class-action suits brought against the company.'

Conference Pears

"Next meeting back to paper. Everyone missed doodle."

"Leave Lou to me. I'll eat him and then you can run the company."

"That's Arnie, our resident meeting moth. He doesn't have an office... Just flits all day from one meeting to another. And be careful: he's got a thing for wool!"

'I meet therefore I MANAGE.'

"Yoo hoo, the meeting's over here."

'Thanks for flying in for the meeting.'

"Not the most impressive strategic plan I've ever seen."
