The ideal committee is one with me as the chairman, and two other members in bed with the flu.

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that the most efficient and advantageous committee is one where the person quoting is in charge, and the other members who might potentially challenge or disagree with their decisions are unable to participate due to illness. It highlights the desire for complete control and dominance within a committee setting, implying that it would be easier to accomplish goals without any opposition. However, it also reveals a somewhat egocentric perspective, disregarding the benefits of diverse perspectives and collaborative decision-making.
