Once I was running a student government meeting with exactly a quorum. A measure was going to pass over the objections of a couple of members (that's how it works with votes--sometimes you lose). So one of them said he was going to the bathroom and left. The door was barely closed when his buddy asked for a quorum call. The call failed. I suggested we would just wait until the bathroom guy returned, and his buddy, grinning, said he was going to use the bathroom at his apt. and wouldn't be back. I adjourned the meeting, there being nothing else I could do except try to get other members to show up.
