Guess Who?
Posted in Games, Work on 07/20/2006 06:14 am by enjanerdSometimes when I’m sitting in a large meeting or at one of the engineering conferences, I like to play Guess Who? It’s pretty entertaining. I’ll pick out one of the stereotypical people in the room and start narrowing down: man, glasses, facial hair, caucasian, balding, gray hair, gray suit, blue tie, black shoes, white shirt…
And at that point, I’m usually still left with a quarter of the room. The tie color usually narrows it down a lot. The other half of the room would either fall in the red tie category or black tie, if they’re in the military. I could start with names. Odds are good he’ll be named Bill or Paul if I’m at a society meeting. John or Bob if I’m at a work meeting. Let’s see… Over 50? Visible cell phone? Taking notes on paper? in a PDA? Wearing a watch? Left-handed?
Oh! Oh! It’s Bob! I win.
