The SNIPER

(Continue to Ignore him) ".....where was I? Ah yes. It is my belief that this plan will bring great returns..."

(Two other people at the meeting are now saying something to each other. Rickles is supressing a smile, as is the person next to him. The marketing director seems to be packing up his notes)

RICKLES: I guess there may be some merit in that proposal. After all, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. (Hah, ha, ha)

R&R: By now, the meeting has totally degenerated into chaos. Thats because people can only pay attention to about 7 things at once, and this interaction has become an overwhelming amount of input. Even if you can ignore the sniper emotionally, that doesn't mean that those around you will be similarly unaffected. You might as well face it: You must deal with the Sniper. So, breathe deeply..that's right. Now get back in there and show no mercy.

Fine! If I can't ignore it, then two can play at this game! "You know Rickles, I wish I could lower my IQ so I could have a meaningful dialog with you!"
