> progresses, start slurring your speech. Belch loudly. Tell your co-workers
> you can't help it. Start crying.
>
> 22) Have a timer that buzzes at intervals. When it goes off, take a pill
> from a pill case and gulp it down. If anyone asks, tell them it's to
> "prevent the seizures."
>

>
> 24) At opportune times, stick an inhaler in your ear. Inhale deeply.
>
> 25)Ask your neighbor, nearer the speaker, to trade places with you "so you

> expression to a frown, sigh heartbreakingly, and begin to stare into
space.
>
> 26) Give a broad wink to someone else at the table. In time, wink at
> everyone. Sometimes shake your head just a little, as if to indicate that
> the speaker is slightly crazy and everybody knows it.

> 27) Wear shades and carry a walkie-talkie with an earphone. Once in a
while,
> quietly say a few words into it.
>
> 28) Bring a doughnut cushion and use it. If anybody asks, say that your

really
> need it. Be embarrassingly persistent in your offer. Offer to show them
how
> bad they are.
>
> 29) Wear brightly-colored earmuffs. Explain that "my ears tend to get real
> cold at these meetings." Ask the speaker to please talk a little louder.

> into your chair. Look real embarrassed. Tell everybody "My doctor's
> appointment is tomorrow."
>
> 31) Bring a large box of Depends to the meeting. Stow them under the
> conference table. Explain to a neighbor: "Just in case."
>
> 32) Bring a small mountain of computer printouts to the meeting. If
> possible, include some old-fashioned fanfold paper for dramatic effect.
> Every time the speaker makes a point, pretend to check it in one of the
> printouts. Pretend to find substantiating evidence there. Nod vigorously,
> and say "uh-huh, uh-huh!"
>
> 33) Bring a few telephone books. Add a few to sit on, adjusting your seat
> height until the top of your head is exactly one-half inch higher than the
> speaker's. Explain that you sometimes have trouble seeing the
presentation.

> enter the meeting, stare directly at the (male) speaker for a while, burst

you
> concentrate.

> see it, J.B..." (or any other impressive-sounding initials that are not
> actually your boss's.)
