Do I win for pointing that out?
It's possibly a "cut and paste" typo.
$647.01?

Don't know Jerry personally, though i've been following this forum for awhile.
Locate a couple of six packs of that pork slap beer (any brew will do, but that would be novel and more acceptable on company time, right?). And some cigars (make you thirstier).
Make sure you have your newsletter all ready to go, except for the price.
Make sure you used the restroom prior to the meeting. Lock the nearest mens room just prior (add "out of order" sign)
Keep the pressure on in the meeting to 1) drink; 2) don't leave the room.
You "pretend to drink alot" while just sipping.
Drag the meeting out. Argue that you would really like to see a big discounted price to get new piggies more involved!
(gratuitous, i know)
When the meeting breaks, you head to your desk, and fill in the price and hit send.
By the time the guys are back to their desks from ... (from their mad dashes outside, across the building, whatever), you should be all done.
It's not as blatant as drugging him with hard liquor, but just as satisfying.

I saw what N2K pointed out, and thought this thread was simply a joke. According to that, it will be ~$647.01. Could be a cut and paste error though (or not).

Unplug his computer from the internet. Though not directly at the computer, but at a distance. Have the IT guy help and take him to lunch with you 
Internet problems do happen
Either that or get someone to bust in on the meeting at the last minute and have them tell Jerry they are having a major problem with a machine and that they need him quickly. It has to be something that he is able to fix or asked to become aware of immediately. Or simply have someone set his car on fire and tell him at the closing of the meeting. Or have Lexi break down in tears saying something is wrong right after the meeting and she needs to talk to him for advice that only a man can solve (We men want to fix ladies problems, not hear about them ). Either way, good luck. Make it realistic and probable so he will go for it. If it seems out of the ordinary, then he'll suspect something.

I would ensure that his computer and/or network mysteriously stop working.

Holy crap! not only did i not see the dollar amounts, but i never even noticed the sticky... thank you sir!
Pull the fire alarm after the meeting!
*Have a little kid do it because it would be a felony if you did. Claim it was an accident. Poor little kid didnt mean to pull the fire alarm. Hey it happens. While your "little helper" pulls the fire alarm, amidst the chaos slip into your office and get that email out!
*Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for this. I would advise you not to do on a more clear head but i have been drinking whisky...

When Jerry shows up for the meeting wait a couple mins into the meeting and excuse yourself to the ladies room. Go into Jerry's office and disconnect his computer from the internet by pulling the ethernet cord from the back and gently pushing it back in just enuf it looks plugged in but is not connected. If he's using a laptop just put yur cursor in the right hand corner next to the clock and click the lil bars and pull up the wizard and click disconnect. While Jerry's busy trying to figure out why he can't get on the internet you'll be sending out the newsletter and ordering steak and lobster for lunch

After the meeting present him with a letter of resignation letting him know you are giving your two weeks.
The kicker...... You are going to work for Dan the much better knife maker!
He will be flabbergasted long enough for you to post the price.

Yep...I already pointed out it could be a copy and paste error. So...we'll only know when the official announcement on pricing is made.

Just partner up with one of the guys and offer a free lunch. Have one of the rolls of shrink wrap for pallets handy in the office. He will be sitting in a chair I pressume? Should not be to hard for the crew to help you shrink wrap him in his chair.....added bonus you can put a Bow on him and take pictures for the company christmas card......plus any other great photos you can think of I mean at that point, you can wheel him around wherever ya want

No problomo.
And since I have your attention...your e-mail hit my spam folder a couple days ago. ...as to your inquiry, a respectful no thank you. But if I ever plan to let go, your interest is noted.

I can not only help make sure you get to post the price first but I can also make you look like a hero too! Here's how you can temporarilly and harmlessly disable his internet access so that he won't have the ability to post immediately until something super simple is corrected!!! Easy sauce!! You can also be the hero that "helps" him fix the problem AFTER you've posted of course!!!
Just prior to your meeting here's what you need to do:
1) If he has a cable going to the back of his computer that looks like the image below, simply slightly pull it so that it is either 3/4 of the way out - OR -just go ahead an pull it all the way out! Literally takes seconds to reconnect. No harm done!!!
2) If you guys have wireless, got to the bottom right of his computer screen, click on the wireless network icon (looks like cell phone reception bars), click on the network name and click disconnect. This can easilly be re-connected by clicking connect again and providing the password (usually the telephone number of the location). If this is too scary, talk to your network person to make sure it's ok! Also literally takes seconds to reconnect. No harm done!!!
3) If he has a USB or other type connection to the internet, simply do the same thing to it you would have done to the cable. A simple push back into the USB port and he's back in business!
4) If none of these will work because he's good capable with his computer, I can tell you a way (via PM
) to easilly modify a file on his computer so that whenever he tries to go to "www.bladeforums.com" he'll be redirected to "http://www.porkbeinspired.com" :devilish: where he can get all see all the latest Pork recipies!!!
5) If all else fails, you can spring for a bottle of this... Yep! Vodka soaked bacon!!!

Pokey...
To win the challenge simply fake a faint and convincingly fall to the floor. As you fall hit the post button (since you must already have a plan to key the info in real time). Your message gets posted or e-mails get sent while everyone in the room tends to you, concerned for your safety. These folks rock, so I know you would be priority #1.
