        92.  Here's what needs to be done ...

        93.  How will our dog and pony show impact our penetration
             of that market?

        94.  We need a horseback estimate to get us in the ballpark.

        95.  We need it 2Q, but it may slip from 3Q to 4Q.

        96.  Marketing is in the Cat-Bird seat on this one.

        97.  We're going to play this one lean, mean and market driven.

        98.  That's the way the cookie crumbles.
   
        99.  We've got to nip this one in the bud.

       100.  I'm going to sit on this for a week to see if they're serious.

       101.  That went over like a lead balloon.

       102.  That may be what I asked for, but it isn't what I want.

       103.  What do you mean, "This is going to cost us?"

       104.  THe dogs don't like the dog food.

       105.  You bet your ass.

       106.  I wouldn't touch that one with a 10 foot pole.

       107.  We've got to maintain our credibility.

       108.  He put on a song and dance.
  
       109.  Who wrote the words and music?

       110.  What's the bottom line?

       111.  Ask around and see  what you come up with.

       112.  Oh, is it morning allready?

       113.  This has to be properly orchestrated.

       114.  This will have to be down-loaded ...or up-loaded.

       115.  You're going to have to interface the new group.

       116.  We're getting the runaround.

       117.  Let's defer that until a later date.

       118.  We're getting a lot of flack on this one.

       119.  What do you mean, "We," white-man?

       120.  Murphy was an optimist.

       121.  Let me have your comments by tomorrow morning.

       122.  Sure the rules say you can authorize that, but they don't
             say what will happen to you if you do.

       123.  If legal gives it a clean bill of health, then it's o.k.
             with me.

       124.  Although our earnings are below our projections, we are
             encouraged by the results.

       125.  It seems everybody wants a piece of the action.

       126.  Thank God it's Friday.

       127.  The computer is down.

       128.  That idea is out in left field.

       129.  Put that in your pc and chomp it.

       130.  It's easier to obtain forgiveness than permission.

       131.  The purpose of this meeting is to review progress made
             since the last meeting.
