How that ad brain-storming session probably went down:

Ad Exec 1: I’m hungry.

Ad Exec 2: You know what would be great?

Ad Exec 3: I’m kind of hungry too.

Ad Exec 4: Are we talking about lunch?

Ad Exec 1: I was thinking about it. You know what I did last night?

Ad Exec 2: We should promote reading by showing pictures of burning books.

Ad Exec 1: I drank a whole gallon of pork gravy last night.

Ad Exec 3: That is so cool. I am jealous.

Ad Exec 4: A WHOLE GALLON?! God, you’re awesome.

Ad Exec 1: I know! I’m thinking of doing it again tonight.

Ad Exec 2: All right, I  just called down to the art department. Should be done by Friday.

Ad Exec 3: Do you think we can get a box of bacon delivered right now?
