In this table, the "mean" means the empirically measured average funniness score when the "unfunny", "somewhat funny" and "funny" receive a funniness score of 1, 2, 3 respectively. "Precison" is the standard error of the mean, the standard deviation of the mean estimate. With that, a caption with an empirical mean μ and precision σ has true mean in the range [μ - 2σ, μ + 2σ] with 95% probability by the 68-95-99.7 rule assuming the responses are indepedent and identically distributed.

30 On second thought, maybe rolling chairs were a bad idea. 1.5000 0.12841 34 22 7 5

32 Welcome to the Pisa branch offices. 1.4857 0.12550 35 23 7 5
33 Unlike you, I do appreciate the gravity of the situation. 1.4848 0.13143 33 22 6 5
34 So its unanimous? 1.4848 0.12402 33 21 8 4

39 The motion to adjourn has been approved by a landslide. 1.4706 0.11357 34 21 10 3
40 Do I need to remind you what rolls downhill? 1.4706 0.12831 34 23 6 5
41 I think I know which way the group is leaning. 1.4706 0.12831 34 23 6 5
42 It appears that the discussion has tilted in my favor. 1.4688 0.14188 32 23 3 6
43 My name is John, I am an alcoholic...and an architect... 1.4688 0.11867 32 20 9 3
44 Welcome to New Balance. 1.4688 0.14882 32 24 1 7
45 Well, Bill, it looks like you won because of a landslide. 1.4667 0.12441 30 19 8 3
46 Of course it's not a level playing field. Duh! 1.4545 0.12379 33 22 7 4
47 I'm here to assure you that fracking does not cause seismic events. 1.4545 0.12379 33 22 7 4
48 So exactly how long have things been going downhill?" 1.4516 0.12127 31 20 8 3
49 I want to begin by saying the foundation of this company is as solid as ever. 1.4516 0.12127 31 20 8 3
50 We're selling the engineering division. 1.4516 0.12127 31 20 8 3
51 First order of business: we fire the architect. 1.4516 0.12127 31 20 8 3
52 It appears the balance of power has shifted. 1.4516 0.14546 31 23 2 6
53 I think we're too far to the right on this. 1.4516 0.13787 31 22 4 5
54 Clearly, groupthink does not lend itself to a balanced solution. 1.4516 0.12127 31 20 8 3
55 Let's move on to the next slide. 1.4516 0.13787 31 22 4 5
56 Oh my God, it does not smell that bad. 1.4516 0.13787 31 22 4 5
57 That's ridiculous Evelyn! Does anyone else feel I talk down to you? 1.4516 0.12127 31 20 8 3
58 Ok, so no one is on my side. 1.4483 0.13669 29 20 5 4
59 I move that we table the motion. 1.4444 0.13433 27 18 6 3
60 As you all know, moving up in this company can be difficult. 1.4412 0.12083 34 23 7 4
61 Who's got the bowling ball? 1.4375 0.11827 32 21 8 3
62 We have to stop meeting like this. 1.4375 0.12650 32 22 6 4
63 I just wanted to give you my slant on the company's future. 1.4375 0.11827 32 21 8 3
64 I'm beginning to see the gravity of the situation. 1.4375 0.12650 32 22 6 4
65 Guess what rolls downhill? 1.4375 0.12650 32 22 6 4
66 Maybe I came on a little strong there. 1.4375 0.13424 32 23 4 5
67 Not so long ago, I was sitting where you people are. 1.4333 0.12395 30 20 7 3
68 Another uphill battle? 1.4333 0.11430 30 19 9 2
69 Now you understand why our new cologne isn't selling. 1.4333 0.13290 30 21 5 4
70 Watch what happens when I let go of this table. 1.4333 0.12395 30 20 7 3
71 I don't roll that way 1.4333 0.11430 30 19 9 2
72 Very funny guys. Now straighten the picture and move your chairs back to the table. 1.4333 0.12395 30 20 7 3
73 I'll keep my presentation brief because I know you all hate slides. 1.4333 0.12395 30 20 7 3
74 We have to stop having our board meetings on cruise lines. 1.4333 0.14920 30 23 1 6
75 Before we get started, would someone straighten the picture? 1.4333 0.11430 30 19 9 2
76 Lunch should be here shortly. I ordered sliders. 1.4333 0.12395 30 20 7 3
77 Anyone know who put a lien on this building? 1.4333 0.12395 30 20 7 3
78 All in favor of suing the architect... 1.4333 0.11430 30 19 9 2
79 For our next Board meeting I believe we should seriously consider using TeleMeeting rather than a cruise ship. 1.4333 0.14129 30 22 3 5
80 So moved? 1.4333 0.12395 30 20 7 3
81 So, now you understand the gravity of the situation. 1.4286 0.14019 28 20 4 4
82 I want you all to know you can always come to me. 1.4286 0.13041 28 19 6 3
83 I'm inclined to say no. 1.4242 0.10687 33 21 10 2
84 Vote 'yes' or I let go of the table. 1.4194 0.13737 31 23 3 5
85 Company benefits will be given on a sliding scale. 1.4194 0.13737 31 23 3 5
86 I'm sure you're aware of the gravity of the situation. 1.4194 0.10133 31 19 11 1
87 I think we can agree that the company is a little heavy in upper management. 1.4194 0.13737 31 23 3 5
88 I want to address the rumors that this company is crooked. 1.4194 0.12930 31 22 5 4
89 A simple "nay" vote would have sufficed. 1.4194 0.11143 31 20 9 2
90 The motion to abandon ship passes unanimously. 1.4194 0.12070 31 21 7 3
91 I grant you. Locating our headquarters on the San Andreas fault has some disadvantages. 1.4194 0.11143 31 20 9 2
92 Anyone see my pen down there? 1.4194 0.11143 31 20 9 2
93 It seems the builder didn't level with us. 1.4138 0.12670 29 20 6 3
94 As luck would have it, our next agenda item is a report from Building Maintenance. 1.4138 0.12670 29 20 6 3
95 The motion is carried by a landslide 1.4138 0.11657 29 19 8 2
96 Now let me get this straight . . . 1.4138 0.12670 29 20 6 3
97 As some of you may have noticed, the company is in decline. 1.4138 0.11657 29 19 8 2
98 It seems your opinion outweighs my logic. 1.4138 0.12670 29 20 6 3
99 We are facing an uphill battle, but I would like to get rolling. 1.4138 0.13607 29 21 4 4
100 I'm just hoping Frank Gehry will give us a partial refund. 1.4138 0.12670 29 20 6 3
101 There's been a seismic shift in our firm's outlook. 1.4138 0.13607 29 21 4 4
102 Here, on the Titanic, there are no dumb questions. 1.4138 0.10548 29 18 10 1
103 On the plus side, it has a wonderful view of downtown Pisa. 1.4138 0.12670 29 20 6 3
104 So now let us adjourn to the life boats. 1.4138 0.11657 29 19 8 2
105 It is still the view of the board that the ship is not sinking. 1.4138 0.11657 29 19 8 2
106 'First, welcome to Pisa.' 1.4074 0.12241 27 18 7 2
107 Because the rent is cheap, and would someone crawl up here and help me hold the table? 1.4074 0.13354 27 19 5 3
108 Sorry, but I'm inclined to disagree. 1.4074 0.12241 27 18 7 2
109 Why don't we try another angle? 1.4074 0.12241 27 18 7 2
110 To save money we had to let about half of the 34th floor go. 1.4062 0.12588 32 23 5 4
111 This company is moving in a new direction. 1.4000 0.10283 30 19 10 1
112 Okay, who hired the architect? 1.4000 0.10283 30 19 10 1
113 I'd like to address the allegations that our reporting leans to the right. 1.4000 0.13218 30 22 4 4
114 I'm sure you can all appreciate the gravity of our current situation. 1.4000 0.13218 30 22 4 4
115 My cartoonist has been drinking again 1.4000 0.11346 30 20 8 2
116 All in favor of moving lifeboat aquisition out of sub-committee? 1.4000 0.13218 30 22 4 4
117 It looks like the balance of power has shifted. 1.4000 0.12318 30 21 6 3
118 Maybe Gehry wasn't the best choice for the interior. 1.4000 0.12318 30 21 6 3
119 It would seem that I have the table. 1.4000 0.12318 30 21 6 3
120 You've all been hired to right this ship. 1.4000 0.13218 30 22 4 4
121 I think we're at the tipping point. 1.4000 0.13218 30 22 4 4
122 It will cost too much to straighten the building, so we are just going to take the wheels off the chairs. 1.4000 0.12318 30 21 6 3
123 I trust you all understand the gravity of the situation. 1.4000 0.11346 30 20 8 2
124 Let me try and put this into perspective. 1.4000 0.10283 30 19 10 1
125 And we can begin the meeting as soon as SOMEONE starts holding the magazine straight. 1.4000 0.11346 30 20 8 2
126 Pull up a chair! 1.4000 0.12318 30 21 6 3
127 The market slide was more severe than we had anticipated 1.4000 0.11346 30 20 8 2
128 You're in no position to negotiate; things have tilted in my favor! 1.4000 0.12318 30 21 6 3
129 First, let me welcome you all to Pisa. 1.4000 0.13218 30 22 4 4
130 Let's put it to a vote then - All in favor of Mary's proposal to install seatbelts in the restroom, say aye. 1.4000 0.11346 30 20 8 2
131 I think we've reached a tipping point. 1.4000 0.11346 30 20 8 2
132 Alright, second my motion, or I let the table go. 1.4000 0.11346 30 20 8 2
133 I would like to address the rumors of instability in this company. 1.4000 0.12318 30 21 6 3
134 Seriously, is there an elephant in the room? 1.4000 0.12318 30 21 6 3
135 First of all, I would like to welcome you to Sisyphus Corporation. 1.4000 0.13218 30 22 4 4
136 All I'm asking is for you to look at it from my angle. 1.3929 0.13934 28 21 3 4
137 I appear to be the only one that understands the gravity of this situation. 1.3929 0.12950 28 20 5 3
138 I didn't literally mean heads need to roll. 1.3929 0.11885 28 19 7 2
139 Welcome to the Ayn Rand Institute! 1.3929 0.12950 28 20 5 3
140 My previous coworkers entertained a very different definition of "contagious" 1.3929 0.12950 28 20 5 3
141 I'd appreciate it if you would just level with me. 1.3929 0.12950 28 20 5 3
142 All right, OK... I'll level with you. 1.3929 0.12950 28 20 5 3
143 Don't everyone volunteer at once. 1.3929 0.12950 28 20 5 3
144 Let me welcome you to Form Over Function Architects LLC. 1.3929 0.12950 28 20 5 3
145 . . .and for most of you, the road to success will be an uphill battle. 1.3929 0.11885 28 19 7 2
146 To get to this position was an uphill battle. 1.3929 0.12950 28 20 5 3
147 I move to table the question and let it slide. 1.3929 0.11885 28 19 7 2
148 Only now may we fully appreciate the gravity of our situation. 1.3929 0.11885 28 19 7 2
149 All those in favor of removing the wheels from their chair, say aye. 1.3929 0.11885 28 19 7 2
150 Alright. Who moved the white board? 1.3929 0.12950 28 20 5 3
151 Now it will be easier to talk down to you 1.3929 0.13934 28 21 3 4
152 So it’s unanimous: The wheels are coming off the chairs. 1.3929 0.13934 28 21 3 4
153 This conversation seems a little one-sided. 1.3929 0.12950 28 20 5 3
154 In order to keep this company on an even keel I'm going to have to throw some of you overboard. 1.3929 0.11885 28 19 7 2
155 I promise to keep this meeting brief since we're short on time and the ship is about to go down... 1.3929 0.12950 28 20 5 3
156 Show of hands: fix the foundation or remove the wheels from the chairs. 1.3929 0.14853 28 22 1 5
157 I see you're all inclined to disagree. 1.3929 0.10714 28 18 9 1
158 Didn't anyone think that hiring my brother-in-law to build this building was a bad idea? 1.3929 0.11885 28 19 7 2
159 First, let me address the rumors that the company is foundering. 1.3929 0.12950 28 20 5 3
160 Before we start, can someone straighten that picture? 1.3929 0.11885 28 19 7 2
161 Who can tell me why this painting is tilted? 1.3929 0.13934 28 21 3 4
162 Did anyone bring a Slinky? 1.3929 0.12950 28 20 5 3
163 I get the sense that the whole room is leaning towards one decision. 1.3871 0.12849 31 23 4 4
164 It's obvious this company is in a steep decline. 1.3871 0.11983 31 22 6 3
165 Will someone please straighten the picture? 1.3871 0.08893 31 19 12 0
166 The first item on our "new employee orientation" agenda is this little exercise in orientation. 1.3871 0.11983 31 22 6 3
167 I can see which way the room is leaning on this one. 1.3871 0.12849 31 23 4 4
168 New business: I propose we get rid of these wheely chairs. 1.3871 0.11983 31 22 6 3
169 I never talk down to people, if I can help it. I can't help it. 1.3871 0.12849 31 23 4 4
170 Some of you may be wondering if the Board is properly balanced. 1.3871 0.12849 31 23 4 4
171 I'm inclined to agree. 1.3871 0.12849 31 23 4 4
172 Raise your hand if you think Frank Gehry is overrated. 1.3871 0.11983 31 22 6 3
173 I think we can all appreciate the gravity of the situation. 1.3871 0.12849 31 23 4 4
174 What do you mean I let you down? 1.3846 0.12499 26 18 6 2
175 I need to keep my distance as I read the will. 1.3846 0.13674 26 19 4 3
176 Level playing fields are for losers. 1.3846 0.14756 26 20 2 4
177 Hopefully you all now see the gravity of the situation. 1.3793 0.11547 29 20 7 2
178 Ok, so moving offshore does have some drawbacks. 1.3793 0.11547 29 20 7 2
179 I see my opinion doesn't carry much weight. 1.3793 0.12569 29 21 5 3
180 I'm inclined to feel the same as all of you. 1.3793 0.12569 29 21 5 3
181 I thought it would be helpful for our structural engineers to meet at the project. 1.3793 0.10427 29 19 9 1
182 In hindsight, the three-bean chili for lunch wasn't the best idea. 1.3793 0.13513 29 22 3 4
183 Perhaps we shouldn't have opened an office in Pisa. 1.3793 0.12569 29 21 5 3
184 Alright then, you balance the budget. 1.3793 0.11547 29 20 7 2
185 Looks like the nays have it. 1.3793 0.12569 29 21 5 3
186 I can see you appreciate the gravity of the situation. 1.3793 0.12569 29 21 5 3
187 I can clearly see the gravity of the situation. 1.3793 0.11547 29 20 7 2
188 In the future, a simple "nay" would be sufficient. 1.3793 0.11547 29 20 7 2
189 Level floors? Level floors are for closers. 1.3793 0.12569 29 21 5 3
190 I said "Eureka" not "I've got Zika". 1.3793 0.14396 29 23 1 5
191 All I said was Trump is not that bad. 1.3793 0.13513 29 22 3 4
192 Welcome, National Council on Astigmatism. 1.3793 0.13513 29 22 3 4
193 I'm glad you all appreciate the gravity of this situation. 1.3793 0.12569 29 21 5 3
194 Okay, so marbles are out. Any other thoughts? 1.3793 0.12569 29 21 5 3
195 I presume you now understand the gravity of the situation. 1.3793 0.13513 29 22 3 4
196 So now that you appreciate the gravity of our situation... 1.3793 0.10427 29 19 9 1
197 I just don't think you understand the gravity of the situation! 1.3793 0.12569 29 21 5 3
198 Tell me why I shouldn't just let go of this table. 1.3793 0.11547 29 20 7 2
199 I never promised you a level playing field 1.3793 0.11547 29 20 7 2
200 I'm concerned that getting everyone to the table might be an uphill battle. 1.3793 0.11547 29 20 7 2
201 We must right this ship, people... 1.3793 0.10427 29 19 9 1
202 So, who wants to level the playing field? 1.3704 0.12111 27 19 6 2
203 It has come to my attention that adaptive reuse of an old fun house may not have been the best option for our office relocation. 1.3704 0.12111 27 19 6 2
204 As you know, the company appears to be headed downhill. 1.3704 0.14271 27 21 2 4
205 I'm inclined to let it slide. 1.3704 0.10871 27 18 8 1
206 This board decision may tilt in your favor, but as chair I may still decide to crush you with this table. 1.3704 0.13235 27 20 4 3
207 I think we know which way the Board is leaning... 1.3704 0.12111 27 19 6 2
208 Did I promise you a level playing field? 1.3704 0.12111 27 19 6 2
209 Before we begin I would like to get something straight. 1.3704 0.10871 27 18 8 1
210 Yes, we pay on a sliding scale. 1.3704 0.12111 27 19 6 2
211 All those in favor of keeping the roller chairs, vote aye 1.3704 0.14271 27 21 2 4
212 All those in favor of adding brakes to our chairs... 1.3704 0.12111 27 19 6 2
213 I've decided that we need to view this business from a new perspective. 1.3704 0.12111 27 19 6 2
214 Now do you see the gravity of the situation? 1.3704 0.12111 27 19 6 2
215 Any suggestions on how to level the playing field? 1.3704 0.14271 27 21 2 4
216 Our world has shifted and we must respond. 1.3704 0.12111 27 19 6 2
217 Like the job description said, we're looking for a candidate who is upwardly mobile. 1.3704 0.12111 27 19 6 2
218 I hope you appreciate the gravity of our situation. 1.3704 0.12111 27 19 6 2
219 I don't think you all fully appreciate the gravity of our situation... 1.3704 0.14271 27 21 2 4
220 I expect you all to work at full-tilt. 1.3704 0.12111 27 19 6 2
221 I'm sure you appreciate the gravity of the situation. 1.3704 0.14271 27 21 2 4
222 Are you with me so far? 1.3704 0.12111 27 19 6 2
223 Let's all thank Bill for scheduling our meeting on a cruise ship 1.3704 0.13235 27 20 4 3
224 Meeting adjourned for an hour. Captain wants us on deck. 1.3704 0.10871 27 18 8 1
225 There's ME. Then nobody. Then you. 1.3667 0.11227 30 21 7 2
226 This meeting of the Fun House Society is hereby called to order. 1.3667 0.12208 30 22 5 3
227 I told you not to straighten the picture frame! 1.3667 0.12208 30 22 5 3
228 I feel like this conversation is one-sided. 1.3667 0.11227 30 21 7 2
229 In fact, I'm sure it was the onions. 1.3600 0.11372 25 17 7 1
230 Yup, Fred Astaire used the same room. 1.3600 0.14000 25 19 3 3
231 Those in favor of chairs without rollers raise your hand. 1.3600 0.12754 25 18 5 2
232 I'm going to level with you people... 1.3600 0.12754 25 18 5 2
233 I feel your plane. 1.3600 0.12754 25 18 5 2
234 Welcome to the Trump School of Interior Architecture. 1.3600 0.14000 25 19 3 3
235 It appears the market has shifted. 1.3571 0.11745 28 20 6 2
236 I hope you all understand the gravity of this situation. 1.3571 0.09221 28 18 10 0
237 I'm afraid we're going to have to make some structural changes. 1.3571 0.11745 28 20 6 2
238 I know it looks like an uphill battle but... 1.3571 0.10559 28 19 8 1
239 When they said "restructuring," I didn't think they meant the building. 1.3571 0.12822 28 21 4 3
240 You need to understand the gravity of our situation. 1.3571 0.10559 28 19 8 1
241 I'm sure you all realize the gravity of the situation. 1.3571 0.11745 28 20 6 2
242 Here, you will need to claw your way to the top. 1.3571 0.11745 28 20 6 2
243 It's a unanimous vote for vertical window blinds. 1.3571 0.12822 28 21 4 3
244 I'll count to 3, and then I let go of the table. 1.3571 0.12822 28 21 4 3
245 OK! So I had garlic shrimp for lunch ...... 1.3571 0.11745 28 20 6 2
246 I'm pleased to see that all of you appreciate the gravity of this situation. 1.3571 0.10559 28 19 8 1
247 You've made it obvious which way the board is leaning. 1.3571 0.13815 28 22 2 4
248 The good news is, I was able to get you moved out of your cubicles... 1.3571 0.11745 28 20 6 2
249 And that my friends, is how babies are made... 1.3571 0.11745 28 20 6 2
250 This message is coming straight from the higher-ups at corporate. 1.3571 0.13815 28 22 2 4
251 First, let's go over the difference between port and starboard. 1.3571 0.10559 28 19 8 1
252 I am inclined to disagree with the rest of you. 1.3462 0.11014 26 18 7 1
253 I still think it would've been easier to just re-hang the wall art. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
254 The company faces an uphill struggle. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
255 Anybody else planning to jump ship? 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
256 I win. 1.3462 0.13522 26 20 3 3
257 Good! Now don't move as I crush you with this table. 1.3462 0.14615 26 21 1 4
258 The issue of Ralph's B.O. finally reached a tipping point.. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
259 So it seems that I'm Scotland on this one. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
260 Why have we stopped serving coffee at our meetings? 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
261 The contractor said he can fix the whole problem with a couple of shims. 1.3462 0.13522 26 20 3 3
262 I think now would be a good time to show our recent sales graph! 1.3462 0.14615 26 21 1 4
263 Okay, that takes care of the demotions. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
264 Where's the elephant in the room when you need one? 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
265 I see the paradigm has shifted. 1.3462 0.09515 26 17 9 0
266 So, you're leaning towards a consensus. 1.3462 0.11014 26 18 7 1
267 I need to level with you... 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
268 Someone, please straighten out the white board. 1.3462 0.11014 26 18 7 1
269 The weight of the evidence is certainly on your side 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
270 Ok, from now on you'll have to work to get a seat at the table. 1.3462 0.13522 26 20 3 3
271 I'm sorry. The board has asked us to be more transparent with our salary disparity. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
272 The slide show will begin now! 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
273 Ok, here's the angle. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
274 Welcome to your first day at Cunard's Executive Training. 1.3462 0.14615 26 21 1 4
275 Now you know why I didn't offer you any coffee. 1.3462 0.09515 26 17 9 0
276 Today's Weight Watchers meeting has begun. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
277 We can't ignore the gravity of the situation. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
278 This meeting is an uphill battle. 1.3462 0.13522 26 20 3 3
279 Relocating corporate headquarters to international waters may take some getting used to. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
280 Thank you for participating in this focus group - how are you enjoying the cruise so far? 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
281 Didn't anyone think to ask if the cartoonist could handle perspective? 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
282 I vote that this is our last meeting at the Museum of Modern Art. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
283 Those who think we need to be merged and acquired, crawl toward me. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
284 Thank you for participating in the architectural firm's first-ever focus group. 1.3462 0.13522 26 20 3 3
285 That's what happens when you let go of the table. 1.3462 0.13522 26 20 3 3
286 I still say the cartoonist just signed this crooked. 1.3462 0.13522 26 20 3 3
287 Get back to the table and fix the crooked video screen. 1.3462 0.14615 26 21 1 4
288 Management has decided not to level the playing field at this time. 1.3462 0.13522 26 20 3 3
289 I want you all to be aware of the gravity of our situation. 1.3462 0.13522 26 20 3 3
290 Seriously...who's with me? 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
291 Excellent slide show. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
292 If revenue is down next month, expect the table to have wheels too. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
293 I see that it's going to be an uphill battle to get you on my side. 1.3462 0.11014 26 18 7 1
294 Salaries will be based on a sliding scale. Determined by me. 1.3462 0.13522 26 20 3 3
295 Welcome aboard. 1.3462 0.11014 26 18 7 1
296 Let's table that motion until the pendulum swings back. 1.3462 0.13522 26 20 3 3
297 Don't think of it as me speaking down to you, look at it as you looking up to me. 1.3462 0.11014 26 18 7 1
298 A simple "nay" would have sufficed. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
299 We knew the relocation to Pisa would present challenges. 1.3462 0.13522 26 20 3 3
300 It's just a cold sore 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
301 The balance of power has shifted. 1.3462 0.12332 26 19 5 2
302 You're looking at it from the downside. 1.3462 0.13522 26 20 3 3
303 I don't recommend soup for lunch. 1.3462 0.09515 26 17 9 0
304 It's over, gentlemen. I have the high ground. 1.3462 0.14615 26 21 1 4
305 Unfortunately, our architect was working on a sliding scale. 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
306 If you want a seat at the table, you're going to have to Lean In 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
307 All in favor of not renewing the lease say "I". 1.3333 0.13074 27 21 3 3
308 Who said anything about an even playing field? 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
309 No, I don't think my opinion is slanted. 1.3333 0.13074 27 21 3 3
310 It appears the board is not leaning in my favor. 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
311 Our critics say the party leans too far to the right. 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
312 I'm sure you're all wondering why I've gathered you there today. 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
313 Two reasons really: one, because I am a germ phobe and two, because your silly opinions mean nothing to me. 1.3333 0.13074 27 21 3 3
314 I am still not inclined to take your proposal 1.3333 0.13003 24 18 4 2
315 Planning and preparedness. See, I had the foresight to lock my wheels in case of a sudden shift in perspective. 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
316 I thought having today's staff meeting on my yacht would be a good idea . . . But apparently not. 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
317 Now that you understand the gravity of the situation . . . 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
318 I’ve been letting some things slide recently. 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
319 In San Francisco, we like to proceed as if nothing's happened. 1.3333 0.09981 30 21 8 1
320 First off, we never promised you level playing field. 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
321 This business is quite literally in decline. 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
322 Our research indicates that fracking has absolutely no adverse effect on the environment. 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
323 So that's how we roll 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
324 Thank you for coming. I hope you're all comfortable. Can everyone see the screen? 1.3333 0.13074 27 21 3 3
325 I don't think I can hold this table any longer 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
326 Not only is the rent cheaper but the building has great drainage 1.3333 0.13074 27 21 3 3
327 I don't think you grasp the gravity of this situation. 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
328 So we agree. This architectural firm is dissolved. 1.3333 0.13074 27 21 3 3
329 I'd like to give you a different slant on the problem 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
330 I doubt we will ever see eye-to-eye. 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
331 We have got to get rid of these wheels 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
332 I'm leaning that direction too. 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
333 Did I hear a motion? 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
334 This is exactly what I meant when I said we have to level the field. 1.3333 0.09981 30 21 8 1
335 I know, but the architect just won an award. 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
336 I must level with you about this. 1.3333 0.13074 27 21 3 3
337 Thank you all for meeting me in Pisa. 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
338 OK, who's against me? 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
339 I want to level with you. 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
340 This is a matter of some gravity. 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
341 Come on people, it's an optical illusion. 1.3333 0.13003 24 18 4 2
342 The property manager said they could straighten up the building but then the window would be crooked. 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
343 Before we begin, can someone straighten the picture please? 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
344 Good thing the table is not on wheels. 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
345 I hope this helps you understand the gravity of the situation 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
346 Any suggestions for addressing the silly rumor that the economy is tilted in favor of us one-percenters? 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
347 Let's roll. 1.3333 0.13074 27 21 3 3
348 All in favor of NOT having the next retreat on a cruise ship... 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
349 Ok, I promise, I'll never reference " the Donald" again 1.3333 0.13074 27 21 3 3
350 Believe me when I tell you that your opinion matters just as much as mine. 1.3333 0.13074 27 21 3 3
351 Of course, Trump U is on the level. Why do you ask? 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
352 What will it take to bring everyone back to the table again? 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
353 I should've had a V8. 1.3333 0.13074 27 21 3 3
354 I told you the level playing field was a myth! 1.3333 0.11526 24 17 6 1
355 As no other issues have been brought to the table, the meeting is adjourned. 1.3333 0.13003 24 18 4 2
356 The architect did mention that there was a minor glitch in the plans... 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
357 I think that picture might be crooked. 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
358 Let me try to straighten this all out 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
359 I had this room built to make a point. 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
360 I'm sorry but the lifeboats only have room for the CEO's. 1.3333 0.13074 27 21 3 3
361 You have to consider the gravity of the situation. 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
362 We can't continue to let things slide. 1.3333 0.10675 27 19 7 1
363 I see you have the majority in your corner. 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
364 First on the agenda is Rex who found us this great deal on a conference room! 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
365 Do you wish to table that motion, or let it slide? 1.3333 0.11935 27 20 5 2
366 We may have made a mistake in putting our offices in this cruise ship. 1.3214 0.11563 28 21 5 2
367 I wanted to make sure we started with your backs against the wall 1.3214 0.12655 28 22 3 3
368 I still think Trump will make a great president. 1.3214 0.12655 28 22 3 3
369 I feel the weight of the board is against me. 1.3200 0.13808 25 20 2 3
370 Could you all just lean in? 1.3200 0.09522 25 17 8 0
371 Now I see the gravity of our situation. 1.3200 0.12543 25 19 4 2

475 I called this meeting today because I felt I should just level with you. 1.3077 0.12114 26 20 4 2
476 These shipboard meetings seem to be driving us apart. 1.3077 0.12114 26 20 4 2

503 My, how the tables have turned. 1.3077 0.12114 26 20 4 2
504 I am inclined to tell you some bad news. 1.3077 0.12114 26 20 4 2
505 I meant "we need a heavy weight on the board" figuratively. 1.3077 0.13323 26 21 2 3
506 And we save 10% of our health insurance costs by making the walk to the copy machine uphill. 1.3077 0.10769 26 19 6 1

537 You do realize that it's the window that's tilted, don't you? 1.3077 0.10769 26 19 6 1
538 Well now... the tables seemed to have turned a bit, haven't they? 1.3077 0.13323 26 21 2 3
539 I know it seems like we are far apart on this, but that's just an illusion. 1.3043 0.11652 23 17 5 1
540 I want to impress upon you the gravity of our situation. 1.2917 0.11228 24 18 5 1
541 We've taken some extraordinary measures to level that picture frame. 1.2917 0.09478 24 17 7 0

550 Why am I the only one to bring anything to the table? 1.2917 0.11228 24 18 5 1
551 Perhaps we should look at this from another angle. 1.2917 0.09478 24 17 7 0
552 So, I think it's fair to say that we've reached our tipping point. 1.2917 0.11228 24 18 5 1
553 Now that you're all together, let's begin. 1.2917 0.11228 24 18 5 1

561 I suggest we adjourn before we hit the next wave 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
562 It's not too late to change your vote. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
563 Can we get some interns to starboard for ballast? 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
564 I’m going to level with you. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1

566 I didn't say Simon says. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
567 You guys should probably move...I can only hold this table for so much longer. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
568 And finally, the company's new weight-loss initiative begins on Monday... 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
569 You all seriously need to lean-in. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
570 The figures for the second quarter are titanic. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
571 I just want to quash the rumors that this company is a sinking ship. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
572 Will someone please throw me back my pen? 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
573 Now that we have established the appropriate balance of power, we may commence our meeting. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
574 Who seconds the motion for wheelless chairs? 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
575 Tell you what, I'm willing to meet you half-way 1.2800 0.09165 25 18 7 0
576 So what you're saying is our engineering issues are also a metaphor for something? 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
577 Before we get down to business, Where are we with finding a new architect? 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
578 Yes, I’m the architect. What seems to be the problem? 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
579 Okay, this meeting is going downhill fast 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
580 Admit it. You've let things slide. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
581 I'd call this a landslide. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
582 I'm aware that this focus group skews to the right. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
583 Simon says, roll back to the table. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
584 Try to see it from my perspective: I'm not looking down on you. You're looking up to me! 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
585 I know you all probably feel like you're on a slippery slope here. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
586 And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why in California we bolt the tables to the floors. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
587 please set your wheels to the lock position 1.2800 0.09165 25 18 7 0

589 Corporately we believe all crap rolls down hill. 1.2800 0.09165 25 18 7 0
590 I wouldn't call it push back. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
591 I've lost control of the room. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
592 I wish you would level with me. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
593 Just because I'm the boss' son, don't think that things are tilted in my favor. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
594 Building Maintenance says they've fixed the whiteboards. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
595 Perhaps... but the rest of the news networks are all slanted the other way. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
596 Did the earth move for you too? 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
597 Cheapest office space in all of Pisa. and this board room is huge! 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
598 It's just an illusion. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
599 We're fair and balanced regardless of what you see 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
600 And that's why a chair needs five legs. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
601 Well I'm glad to see that at least you all can appreciate the gravity of our situation. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
602 I'm still not changing our name! We worked hard branding San Andreas. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
603 So somebody tell me why you all think we've tilted too far to the right. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
604 I know some of you are wondering how you got on the list. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
605 In hindsight, we should have just re-framed the window. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
606 Did anyone think to turn on the projector before they sat down? 1.2800 0.13565 25 21 1 3
607 I wanted to give you a different slant on things 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
608 ....I know things have been going down hill lately.... 1.2800 0.09165 25 18 7 0
609 In conclusion, let me assure the board that this business is in no way a sinking ship. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
610 I think you all understand the gravity of the situation. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1

614 One false move and I'll let go of the table 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
615 Today's study group seems a bit one-sided. 1.2800 0.09165 25 18 7 0
616 Thank God for walls. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
617 On the other hand,upper management will be fine. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
618 Look at this from my angle. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
619 The optics may appear to be somewhat slanted, but management does not believe that the company is sinking. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
620 We're on a roll, people! 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
621 There's been a shift in our corporate structure. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
622 I don't think you people are on the level with me. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
623 Today we will be discussing a new floor plan. 1.2800 0.09165 25 18 7 0
624 Now that you understand the gravity of this situation... 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
625 It took an earthquake to prove that the self-leveling picture frame works! 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
626 Is the white board crooked? 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
627 I'm known as a mover and a shaker, but my specialty is tilter. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
628 You're probably wondering why I called you all there. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
629 Look, I know a lot of you aren't thrilled by the sudden transfer from London to our office in Pisa. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
630 Ha! Let's see you lean in now, Carol. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2

633 Alright, then, if there are no objections to the seating arrangements we'll move on to the menu. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
634 In hindsight, we should not have invested in the chairs with wheels. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
635 I beg your pardon; your comments were a bit off-centered. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
636 Crikey! I forgot the balance sheets! 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
637 And salaries will obviously be on a sliding scale. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
638 I take it the board has changed its position 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
639 I think we should look at this new project from a different angle. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1

649 Nobody leaves until we straighten this out. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
650 Next meeting, we'll try a different slant. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
651 Just be thankful we don't work in the warehouse. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2

657 Does that painting look crooked to you? 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
658 I was really hoping for your support on this. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2

661 You all have equal rights. In this company we take pride in offering a level playing field. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
662 Try to see this from my angle... 1.2800 0.09165 25 18 7 0
663 So you're the committee that selected the architect for the new headquarters. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1

675 I don't suppose that someone could get me a cup of coffee. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
676 I'm glad you see the gravity of this situation. 1.2800 0.10832 25 19 5 1
677 I'm sensing a subtle power shift within the group. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
678 Try looking at it from my point of view 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
679 We're restructuring so you're going to have to roll with it. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
680 Looks like the balance of power has taken an interesting turn. 1.2800 0.13565 25 21 1 3
681 Just think of this as a zero sum game. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2
682 Sorry about that. I had chili for lunch. 1.2800 0.12275 25 20 3 2

701 The vote is unanimous to purchase a new plumb bob. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
702 I see that a different perspective doesn't change anything. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
703 Before we begin, would someone please straighten the whiteboard? It's hanging crooked. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1

748 I thought we might gain some new perspectives this way. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
749 I am tired of hearing people say the company's going downhill. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
750 Well! Looks like I get to be chairman. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
751 I do hope you all understand the gravity of the situation! 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
752 This meeting is going down hill fast. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
753 Does anyone else want a Dramamine? 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
754 Please understand, it is only through mere architectural idiosyncrasy that I'm talking down to you. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
755 As new employees, your first task is to pull up a chair. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
756 I reject your slippery slope argument. 1.2692 0.08871 26 19 7 0
757 Which one of you had the idea to meet on a cruise ship? 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
758 I sense a definite shift in attitude around here 1.2692 0.08871 26 19 7 0
759 I said..., this discussion appears a bit lopsided. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
760 When I said we need to rollback I meant prices! 1.2692 0.08871 26 19 7 0
761 We're here to get a report on the progress in the suit against the architects. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
762 I hope you don't think I'm talking down to you. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
763 I want everyone to try to come to the table on this. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
764 I truly believe your point of view is skewed. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
765 I don't think you understand the gravity of this decision 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
766 So you heard, I just got back from Rio! 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
767 There is a motion to adjourn until after the earthquake. Any second? 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
768 Look, I stand by my Engineer. He says it's good, it's good. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
769 Before we start ... Barclay can you straighten the mirror? 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
770 Remember people, a rising tide doesn't lift all boats. 1.2692 0.08871 26 19 7 0
771 With a little time, I'm confident you'll all come my way. 1.2692 0.13077 26 22 1 3
772 We are not going to let this slide. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
773 And next, the bonuses for the Building Committee. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
774 I believe we need to fire the architect. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
775 First order of business: let's change these castor-wheels with some sticky rubber feet. Second order of business: let's fire our architects. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
776 It's called trickle-down ergonomics. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
777 ...and that is why I think I'd be a great fit at the Acme Seesaw Company. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
778 I seem to be the only that understands the gravity of the situation. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
779 For tax purposes, we're relocating our offices to Pisa, Italy. This should help you all adjust. 1.2692 0.08871 26 19 7 0
780 Let's get this straight, balancing the budget is just part of the problem.... 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
781 The first one to roll up here gets a promotion! 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
782 You don't appreciate the gravity of the situation. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
783 I wanted to inform you that the structural engineers have discovered a slight problem. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
784 I understand the gravity of the situation. 1.2692 0.08871 26 19 7 0
785 As your new superior, it is necessary that you start looking up to me. 1.2692 0.13077 26 22 1 3
786 You are not being fair, nor balanced. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
787 I promise I'll stop ordering liver and onions during lunch meetings. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
788 Vote with me or I let go of the table ! 1.2692 0.13077 26 22 1 3
789 At the count of three, everyone run to the other side of the room. 1.2692 0.13077 26 22 1 3
790 I'll make this candid and short. Our company is a sinking ship. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
791 Is it the room or my breath? 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
792 Despite all our efforts to level the playing field, we've decided to go the other way. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
793 Not just our stock is sliding 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
794 You got the drift? 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
795 Our customers must be convinced that we're on the level. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
796 Did you say something about a slippery slope, Evelyn? 1.2692 0.08871 26 19 7 0
797 This more accurately represents the corporate balance of power. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
798 It's demigod, not demagogue! 1.2692 0.08871 26 19 7 0
799 I'm afraid I misunderstood when you said we need a new slant on the way we do our staff meetings. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
800 We believe it's a temporary market shift. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
801 Once again I regret getting office space in a Frank Gehry building. 1.2692 0.08871 26 19 7 0
802 If you feel like victims of bias now, just wait 'til I let go of this table. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
803 If any of you oppose, I will literally crush you. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
804 .......nor is the deck stacked against any of you. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
805 I hope you all understand the gravity of our situation. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
806 I am so glad we moved our office to Pisa. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
807 Before I let go of this table, I want you all to know how much I have appreciated working with you. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
808 No, you can't sit at the conference table, we've eliminated middle management. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
809 Like our profits. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
810 Why didn't anybody bring anything to the table worth discussing? 1.2692 0.08871 26 19 7 0
811 The bad news is the the tide has turned."... The good news is Surf's Up. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
812 The listing did say that relocating to a 'low cost business tower' in Pisa has it's ups and downs 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
813 I think if the rest of you take the wheels off your chairs, we can resume the meeting. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
814 Not until we figure out who's passing gas! 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
815 Yes, the rumors are true. We've pivoted. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
816 And when you say 'leaning way too much to the right,' do you mean in the political context? 1.2692 0.13077 26 22 1 3
817 Stay right there and with a little luck the aftershock will slide you right back to your places. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
818 First one who makes it to this end of the table gets the corner office. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
819 "Yeah... Well, this is not a playing field! 1.2692 0.08871 26 19 7 0
820 This new conference room should help us get everyone's slant on things. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
821 Who says that I look down on them? 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2

823 Whose brilliant idea was it to hold our board meeting on a cruise ship? 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
824 I still think California was a good choice for our headquarters. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
825 The first item on our agenda is a proposal that we take the wheels off of our chairs. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1

829 No need to vote then since you are all so inclined. 1.2692 0.08871 26 19 7 0
830 I'm leaning towards agreeing with you 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
831 I sense a slight shift. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
832 As if to prove my point that too many on our team have become dead weight... 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
833 It's not going to be business as usual anymore. 1.2692 0.10463 26 20 5 1
834 Actually, it's the camera and the window that's slanted. 1.2692 0.11842 26 21 3 2
835 I see the room has shifted. 1.2692 0.08871 26 19 7 0
836 All in favor of removing the wheels from the chairs, say “Aye!” 1.2609 0.11277 23 18 4 1
837 Let's do a roll call vote instead. 1.2609 0.12911 23 19 2 2
838 Compensation is based on a sliding scale. 1.2609 0.11277 23 18 4 1
839 I think your view is slanted. Look at it from my angle. 1.2609 0.12911 23 19 2 2
840 Perhaps it comes as no surprise, the company is slipping. 1.2609 0.12911 23 19 2 2
841 Who put this to a floor vote? 1.2609 0.11277 23 18 4 1
842 As you may have noticed, our company is experiencing a downturn. 1.2609 0.11277 23 18 4 1
843 Today we will discuss the balance of power in our organization. 1.2609 0.11277 23 18 4 1
844 I was really hoping we could meet in the middle on this one. 1.2609 0.09362 23 17 6 0
845 I didn't mean this arrangement to imply an imbalance of power. 1.2609 0.11277 23 18 4 1
846 So it's 7 to 1 in favor of chairs with no wheels. 1.2609 0.11277 23 18 4 1
847 Pay will be on a sliding scale from now on. 1.2500 0.10851 24 19 4 1

852 OK, you all are Europe and I'm Britain. 1.2500 0.09029 24 18 6 0
853 No, I'm pretty sure this is more than just a paradigm shift. 1.2500 0.10851 24 19 4 1
854 I think, then, we can dispense with the graph. 1.2500 0.10851 24 19 4 1
855 None of you seem to be aware of the gravity of this situation. 1.2500 0.10851 24 19 4 1
856 I suggest that today's focus group is not fairly balanced. 1.2500 0.09029 24 18 6 0
857 NOW do you get the gravity of this situation? 1.2500 0.10851 24 19 4 1

864 I have a vague sense that I may not have the Board's full support on this one. 1.2500 0.10851 24 19 4 1
865 I hope you realize the gravity of the situation. 1.2500 0.12409 24 20 2 2
866 You recognize, it's only by mere geological accident that I'm talking down to you. 1.2500 0.10851 24 19 4 1
867 We have a problem, and I know you'd all appreciate some straight talk. 1.2500 0.12409 24 20 2 2
868 I know it's the picture frame. 1.2500 0.12409 24 20 2 2
869 One more weighted opinion and I let go of the table. 1.2500 0.12409 24 20 2 2
870 First, let's talk about the purpose of a focus group. 1.2500 0.12409 24 20 2 2

878 Let's face it, your performances are slipping. 1.2500 0.10851 24 19 4 1
879 I am unmoved by the gravity of consensus. 1.2500 0.10851 24 19 4 1
880 It takes bold leadership to admit that the wheeled chairs were a mistake. 1.2500 0.12409 24 20 2 2
