A colleague of mine took an egg timer into a management meeting with a particulary waffling ex-services sort.
He produced the egg timer as the waffler lumbered to his feet for the start of 40 minutes of unproductive buzzword infested waffle and paper shuffling.
Everyone else thought it was funny, except the waffler who promptly told him to "put that bloody thing away"!

I remember when we first used a videoconference device to talk to the USA - bit of a novelty back in '99. Everything was in mid flow and soon we started to get bored. We had already briefed one guy to walk across the background several times pretending to go down a set of invisible stairs.
Then one of the guys starts moving the remote camera around and zooms straight into one of the pretty staff members heaving chest. All of a sudden there was a silence, a cough and then a southern drawl announces that "...er, we can actually see what you are seeing..."
Red faces all round.

Slightly off-topic but I was once in a Videoconference call when one of the people at the other site obvously forgot he was in a VC rather than a telephone conference and starting making "******" signs when the house dweeb was droning on and on.
