Screaming carpets, flying chairs

My first thought when I walked into the conference room was, "How will anyone hear my presentation when the carpet is screaming so loudly?" But once I got up there and started talking, the carpet disappeared. All I saw were the words in front of me and the appreciative faces of the listeners.

At least they looked appreciative. It's hard to tell. There was some good discussion afterward, but no one got up and did The Wave or threw chairs or anything. Maybe they should. Maybe some of us should start a trend of less ambiguous responses to conference papers. A little chair-tossing can be downright therapeutic.

So let's give it a try, shall we? You first.
