Agenda Item 4: The Invention of New Ways to Say 'No'

Presented by: Bob, Chair of Pointless Agendas

Minutes of the meeting:

Bob: "I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but have you considered saying 'I'm allergic to that' when people ask you to do stuff? It's a game-changer."

Jane: "But Bob, that's just a cop-out. We should aim higher. How about 'I'm not my grandfather'?"

Bob: "That's a good one, Jane. But have you considered 'I'm a professional observer, and I've observed that I'm not doing that'?"
