I don't suppose that to throw the chair is the answer you are looking for. :thinking:

Maybe this adds a bit of context (as stated here: http://battellemedia.com/archives/2005/09/ballmer_throws_a_chair_at_fing_google ):
Prior to joining Google, I set up a meeting on or about November 11, 2004 with Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer to discuss my planned departure....At some point in the conversation Mr. Ballmer said: "Just tell me it's not Google." I told him it was Google.

At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office. Mr. Ballmer then said:
"****ing Eric Schmidt is a ****ing pussy. I'm going to ****ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to ****ing kill Google." ....
Thereafter, Mr. Ballmer resumed trying to persuade me to stay....Among other things, Mr. Ballmer told me that "Google's not a real company. It's a house of cards."
When I have read the topic, this story instantly appeared in front of my eyes.

OK, if to be serious, I have found this slang definition for "throwing a chair": to start a riot, a modern form for Apple of Discord (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Apple_of_Discord) (via http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chair&defid=4044632): (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chair&defid=4044632%29:)

7. chair
a chair is what you use to start a fight or a riot, always work
" yo its to civilized here , throw a chair to start some s***."
