Count how many times the facilitator says "um." Mark it on a piece of paper, then track it through other meetings in the next month. At the end of the month, create a graph which shows variating "um" usage.

I have never done this, myself, but it could me mildly entertaining.

Or you could play buzzword bingo. Make a bingo sheet with all the commonly used buzzwords ("Leverage", "empowerment", etc.) Just be careful not to holler out "BINGO!" too loudly. They will look at you funny.

I feel your pain...really.
