Many small children have incredible lung volume. Some can screech without voice fluctuation at high decibels for what seems like many minutes, or even hours (despite the fact that the average lung capacity of a child would sustain only up to 15 seconds of such behavior between breaths), over small problems, such as being unable to reach a drinking fountain, running out of ice cream, or being given a plate shaped like a panda rather than a giraffe.
Mr. Floppy has suggested that such a “bloody murder” strategy could be useful at business meetings.
Hmmm…
But is it de rigueur to shout in business settings?
After conducting extensive research, including watching the opening 10 minutes of The Incredibles, Mighty Isis finds that such behavior is common in big business. Ten years of experience in industry supports this stance. Much screaming, does, in fact go on in the business meeting. Generally, however, business types are not yelling about the giraffe plates, which makes a solution a bit more complex than with tiny tots.
Perhaps business people should each be issued a package of marshmallow peeps at each meeting. If everything is running smoothly, the marshmallows can be returned to the meeting organizer. If things get sticky, however, participants can pelt troublemakers with the peeps and let these bastions of marshmallowy goodness decide the outcome.
A savvy marketer would order peeps in the company or product colors.
Think of the possibilities.
