            Taking notes might look good or make it look like you are not paying attention. Writing on paper... makes you look old.

                My ten:

                Run one lap around the meeting room at top speed.

                When someone hands you a piece of paper, finger it, and whisper huskily, "Mmmmmmm, that feels soooooo good!"

                Leave your zipper open. If anyone points it out, say, "Sorry,I really prefer it this way".

                Say to someone in the meeting, "I like your style" and shoot them with double-barrelled fingers.

                Babble incoherently at someone then ask "Did you get all that, I don't want to have to repeat it"

                At the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would be nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem

                Refer to everyone in the meeting as 'Bob'.

                Announce to everyone in a meeting that you "really have to go do number two".

                After every sentence, say 'mon' in a really bad Jamacian accent.

                Slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, "Shut up, damm it, all of you just shut up!"

                Speak with an accent (French, German, Porky Pig, etc)

                Hang a two-foot long piece of toilet roll from the back of your trousers/skirt and act genuinely surprised when someone points it out.

                Rollerblade around the floor throwing sweets.

                        My main meeting practice is meditation to control my growing frustration at seeing people sit around blathering 🙂
