1. Ever noticed the difference between Republican and Democratic meetings?

Any meeting I've attended, you need at a minimum the agenda, the previous minutes and your papers for your contribution to the meeting. Likely you've got a refreshment and a laptop/PDA/notebook/iPad. The table is pretty much covered in crap.

Pictures of Democratic meetings look like that. Here's one of Kennedy and Mcnamara.



Then you see a photo of a Republican meeting.

My boss keeps telling me a messy desk is a sign of a messy mind.

An empty desk?

It invariably ends up with me getting MORE work.
