Some Thoughts On Meetings

"It has to be a really good meeting to be better than no meeting at all."
-Jeffery R. Holland

"Every word is an unnecessary stain on the silence."
-Samuel Beckett

"A meeting between two beings who complete one another, who are made for each other, borders already, in my opinion, on a miracle."
-Adolph Hitler (note that even Hitler hates meetings; you'd think he'd call meetings just to be evil!)

"A meeting is an event where minutes are taken and hours wasted."
-James T. Kirk (that's right, the Captain of the Enterprise hates meetings! you keep reachin' for that rainbow, Shatner!)

To paraphrase Ecclesiastes, Let us hear the end of the matter:
Meetings should be like abortions; rare, infrequent, undesirable, and only performed when absolutely necessary and unavoidable.
