Chairman, Chairman of the Committee for Bureaucratic Oversight: "Good morning, esteemed members of the Subcommittee for Pointless Meetings."
Subcommittee members mumbled and sipped their morning coffee.
Chairman: "Point one: The color of the stapler on my desk is not the same shade of beige as the one on the wall."
Member 1: "I think it's because the wall is a better shade of beige."
Member 2: "No, no, it's because the stapler is from the 1980s."
Member 3: "Is that even relevant to our agenda?"
Member 1: "Actually, it is. If we can't agree on the stapler, how can we trust the meeting minutes?"
Chairman: "Point two: The meeting room's fluorescent lights are causing eye strain."
Member 2: "I think it's because we're all just bored."
Member 3: "Or maybe it's the lack of free donuts."
Chairman: "Point three: We need to discuss the minutes from our last meeting."
Member 1: "I think I left them on my desk, but I'm not sure. Can someone remind me?"
Member 2: "I think I ate them. Or maybe I just used them as a coaster."
Member 3: "I'm pretty sure they're in the meeting minutes folder, but I don't know where the meeting minutes folder is."
