A thin, clear brace that fits under the collar and hair (if present) to keep one from literally "nodding off". Sleep with impunity in your office, in meetings, or anywhere. It can be combined with the already baked tattoo/makeup eyeballs drawn on the eyelids to add to the illusion of wakefulness. Useful
to students, as well.

Anyway, this won't solve the "Stuart, what do you think?" "Uh! Doh wha-" wake-up problem, but no one ever really asks my opinion anyhow, so croissant. |

pottedstu: voice-activated tape player that just says, in your voice, "That would be an ecumenical matter." - or the non-Father-Ted equivalent. |

How about, "You might very well think that.... but I couldn't possibly comment" ? |

You might very well think that... but I couldn't possibly comment. |
|

how about: 'Yes, let's just all meditate on that for a moment.' Then everyone else is allowed to go to sleep too. |

Plus a device which (a) detects whether you are being addressed, (b) plays back a "um, er, please could you repeat that" in your own voice while (c) waking you up. |

Sod 'c', surname-was-landan-prior-to-marriage. I say we just record a couple of colleagues' names, spoken in a newscaster style "over-to-you-John" tone of voice and get the tape-player to tack one of these on the end of the stock phrase, thus shifting focus off of yourself and on to someone else |

"Yes, let's just all meditate on that for a moment... Rods Tiger?" |

'surname-was-landan-prior-to-marriage'
I thought the name derived from the fact that he was a Geordie living in a bungalow. |

Good try, GF & angel. <etimology> English it ain't. </> |

How 'bout, "That's an excellent idea, sir!"
Or, less of a suck-up, "Yeah, I guess that's ok."
Or if you don't like your boss, "Shut up, man, and let me sleep." Nobody'll guess that one. |

Or maybe it just delivers a small electric shock? |
