U.S. President Lyndon Johnson used to take this power move a step further. In one-on-one meetings with members of his staff, he would go into the bathroom attached to his office, start urinating, and then call the staff member into the bathroom to continue the conversation. They would then have to either go into the bathroom and literally watch him relieve himself, or risk offending their boss, who happened to also be the most powerful man in the world.

Those are the times you politely demur, and when pressed ask the "reducto ad absurdum" question - "Sir, you wish for me to watch you urinate?" Helps if you have a solid poker-face.
