We need more square footage around here....

Work Story #20

He was talking to some of our school district big wigs and saying how he thought we should turn one of our classrooms into cafeteria overflow seating.  He explained, "By turning that classroom into cafeteria space, it doesn't necessarily add square footage, but it certainly adds square seating."  

My internal dialogue at the moment: hmmm, square seating huh?!  And what exactly IS square seating?  And secondly, how are the district big wigs not laughing at you right now?!
