    Speaking as a vegetarian, definitely not! Unfortunately, at work, I'm in a minority of one on that opinion.

    One day I aspire to having a signature.

      Well, Sir, if they do they better be prepared to show tolerance, and let bacons be bacons.

      «I'm asked why doesn't C# implement feature X all the time. The answer's always the same: because no one ever designed, specified, implemented, tested, documented, shipped that feature. All six of those things are necessary to make a feature happen. They all cost huge amounts of time, effort and money.» Eric Lippert, Microsoft, 2009

        Why not? Don't meetings turn us all into vegetables?

            Not unless they had a beef with them, and wanted to exchange some cutting remarks.

                                Of course not. Being addicted to veg is not so harmful as being addicted to sheep.

                                    I veal there are pros and cons, lettuce not chicken out or duck the issues and consider:

                                    • They're unlikely to have a beef with the agenda, especially if they're on the lam from another meeting
                                    • They do tend to ham-up the proceedings especially with Venice on the conference call (I've known them to be complete turkeys)
                                    • Diary is always a problem especially for dyslexic vegans and their eggsagerated, cheesy opinions (the silly sausages)
                                    • As stakeholders, they do tend to stew over the meat of the issues and will often tell porkies to support their case
                                    • Such events tend to sprout leaks and are peppered with nuts

                                    Ultimately, I don't carot all, in fact I don't give a ratatouille!

                                    Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

                                          Should vegetarians attend meetings?

                                          Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

                                          Well, if I could skip meetings by telling them I am a vegetarian, I would happily do so. :-O

                                          Your time will come, if you let it be right.
