Stand up and act indignant. Demand that the boss tell you the ‘real’ reason
this meeting has been called.
Spill coffee on the conference table. Produce a little paper boat and sail it
down the table.
During a meeting, each time the boss makes an important point, (or at least
one he/she seems to consider important), make a little noise like you are
building up to an orgasm.
Stay behind as everyone else, including the boss, leaves. Thank them for
coming.
Give a broad wink to someone else at the table. In time, wink at
everyone. Sometimes shake your head just a little, as if to indicate that the
speaker is slightly crazy and everybody knows it.
Arrange to have a poorly-dressed young woman with an infant quietly enter the
meeting, stare directly at the (male) speaker for a while, burst into tears,
then leave the room.
Bring a hand puppet, preferably an animal. Ask it to clarify difficult
points.
When there is a call for questions, lean back in your chair, prop your
feet up on the table, smile contentedly, and say, “Well, here’s the way I see
it, J.B…” (or any other impressive-sounding initials that are not actually
your boss’s.)
Complain loudly that your neighbour won’t stop touching you. Demand that the
boss make him/her stop doing it.
Bring a small mountain of computer printouts to the meeting. If possible,
include some old-fashioned fanfold paper for dramatic effect. Every time the
speaker makes a point, pretend to check it in one of the printouts. Pretend to
find substantiating evidence there. Nod vigorously, and say “uh-huh, uh-huh!”
