1. got a funny email from my wife once
she was in such a meeting in Sweden, of all places, where her colleague was butchering her slides in slow motion before foreign dignitaries.

From her Blackberry, the email was entitled "JUST SHOOT ME NOW!"

12. See, that's where you're making a mistake.
Suffer through the meeting, then kill yourself?

14. yes. otherwise i'd save the 100 bones and snore my way through it

19. Damn. There goes an easy 100 bucks.
Back to the seedy streets for me. Maybe if I find the right dress and show a little leg I can earn that money another way...

16. Dude...have we ever crossed paths here before?
Do I strike you as the type to be attentive through a 4 hour "boring" meeting?

20. $100 for four hours? Who are you, WalMart?
No way. I probably couldn't even listen to Sirius Channel 2 during the meeting where it's all holiday music, all the time.

21. I'd do it in a heartbeat.
I can use the money and I have a very active and vivid imagination, really helps keep me awake during those things.

24. Please don't say "cash money" --it bothers me
First, it's redundant. Second, nobody who has ever said that was credible in my book.

You could give a person a check, or an IOU...
