"Here it is, ladies and gentlemen. I am pleased to present to you, the round table."
"What's so special about the round table?"
"It's not a square."
"I know it is not a square, nor is it any other shape. But if we have some loose cannons on the team, the shape of the table makes zero difference."
"It's something to do with the dynamic. There's nobody at the end of the table."
"I can see that "
"So, it's good, isn't it?"
"No."
"No?"
"No."
"Why isn't that a good thing?"
"Because the table doesn't fit properly."
"I think It fits just fine."
"No, we have a square room with a round table. Wrong dynamic."
"Ignore the shape of the room. Focus on the table. Can everyone walk around the room?"
"It's a bit of a tight fit."
"Looks ok to me."
"You could practically walk around, but the spaces around the table are uneven."
"What would you like?"
"A long table."
"But the dynamic will not be what I am looking for."
"Yes, but at least you can play table tennis, or Subbuteo, on it. You can't with this round one "
"That's where you are wrong. If I pull the table out, there's an extension that fits in the middle. We'll still be able to play table tennis, or Subbuteo, during our breaks."
"That's ok then."
"Do you like it now?"
"Yes."
"Yes?"
"Yes."
"Let's begin then."
