Euan got to his RSS feed faster than I did this morning, so he was the first to pick up this from Chris. The highlight is: More than 60 per cent of business executives think about sex while listening to boring presentations and 88 per cent of business people aged over 60 admit to thinking about sex during presentations.

It must be a British thing.
I must admit I did not think about sex once during Dave's presentations at the recent Cognitive Edge Accreditation course.
Perhaps, Dave, this might be a worthwhile addition to the happy sheet evaluations at the end of a workshop.
Did you find the workshop of value to you?
Was it boring (I knew all the content) or over my head (I still don't know what he was talking about)?
How many times did you think about sex during this workshop?
