Meetings.  Tonight I had a couple of meetings.  Typically, a meeting is considered to be an assembly of people…..especially if they are members of a society or some kind of committee.  And generally, the reason for that gathering is either for discussion or entertainment.

I think some people like to go to meetings.  And of course, others do not.  I would fall somewhere into the “do nots.”    It seems to me that meetings are geared more toward the extroverted type of person.  You see…. for it to be an assembly …. there has to be other people there with you.  Not only that…. you have to be a little outgoing and social…. at meetings.    It is simply the nature of the beast.

Humans just seem to have this weird need to have meetings.  Which made me think about animals… and how different they are when it comes to meetings.

Birds never have formal meetings.  They just post a bunch of tweets.
Elephants?  No meetings for them.  Everybody knows they just work for peanuts.
Of course deer have them.  For sure.  There are always big bucks and a lot of doe involved.
Now horses also have meetings but they never get any motions passed.  They are typically saying nay, nay, nay.
Ducks meetings are never very productive either.  They simply sit around quacking each other up.
Zebras never have any kinds of discussions or debates.  Everything is entirely black and white.
Dog meetings are probably the best.  No bones about it.

Except maybe for dolphin meetings.  They always have a porpoise.

So there you have it.  The full scope of the assemblies with a cause.
And that is all I have to say…. until we meet again.
