The True Purpose of Meetings is Caffeine

It's a little-known fact that the true purpose of meetings is not to discuss the project, nor to make decisions, nor to foster team-building. No, the true purpose of meetings is to mainline a constant supply of caffeine into the system.

Studies have shown that 9 out of 10 meetings are directly related to the procurement, consumption, or discussion of caffeinated beverages. It's not just a coincidence that the most productive meetings are always the ones with the most free coffee.

So, if you ever find yourself trapped in a meeting that's dragging on, just remember: the real agenda is always the cupcake in the center of the table.
