PTA Meeting Tonight: Parents,Teachers,Attorneys

'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."

'Now that I have your attention...'

'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'."

"There's something weird about Emily. She actually likes school!"

'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.'

'Anyone who opposes the plan I'm about to propose please signify by saying 'I resign.''

'It's settled then. Your people will meet with my people if they ever get me any people.'

'Congratulations, Yomp - we're giving you a bigger carrot!'

'Ms. Snack, prepare the conference room for an executive sting.'

"I really love school. There's only one problem. I think not having a college degree is holding me back."

"And, while there's no reason yet to panic, I think it only prudent that we make preparations to panic."

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

"Unlike other companies, we are going to take the high road through this rough time, even if, at some point, we're obliged to raid the employee pension fund! Is everybody clear on that?"

"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!"

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

"But why can't I bring him to class? He's my therapy toad!"

'I meet therefore I MANAGE.'

"Finally...school starts next week."

'Thanks for flying in for the meeting.'

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

'Who's pumped about this meeting?!'
