Right. Now settle down everyone. Let's brainstorm. Lisa, you said you had an idea.
I did!
Okay. What is it?
You know how there are rubbers on the end of pencils? Well maybe we should put more things on the end of pencils!
Great idea Lisa. Let's open it up to everyone. Can anybody suggest an item that could go on the end of a pencil?
A pencil!
I think one pencil is enough Gordon. Anyone else?
A flute!
The instrument or champagne receptacle?
Both!
Now that's just silly Martin. We need intelligent suggestions. You had something there with the champagne flute. Note it down Mr Shaw. Anybody else?
A comb!
Asperger!
Noodles!
Munchausen!
I'm brainstorming!
A barometer!
Gastric dumping!
Who's naming syndromes? Cut that out right now. For a start, it's completely unfeasible to put a syndrome on the end of a pencil.
That was Hector, sir. He has Tourette's syndrome.
Ah. Thank you Mr Shaw. Any final suggestions?...No? Okay, thank you everyone. I think we have what we came for. Did you note down barometer Mr Shaw? Good.

Oh, this is so hilarious, and just dialog. Sounds like you've been to a few meetings.

Really funny. The no speech marks works perfect - it reads clear without them, and I think they'd just get in the way of a truly funny story.
