Is that the Swindon or Slough branch in the background?

Of course you can play the game outside of the office but getting someone to sing in a normally song free zone is the best bit.

I just offered a coworker 1000 bonus points if he can get our main computer tech. This is the type of fellow that does NOT own a Telly, nor does he listen to anything except jazz fusion and experimental type stuff on college radio, so pop tunes are out. On top of all that he rarely speaks at all. Instead he walks briskly from one task to another with his head down and will not say hello to anyone unless they LITERALLY stand in his way saying 'hellOOO, GARY!'(true story). I think my 1000 points won't be taken soon.

You might have to widen the rules to "Thinks song loudly" to cover such a person.

Sorry, I was being surreal.

I found a good thing to try (in the States at least). Walk up to someone as if you have something important on your mind and say "Oh, Say..." then hesitate for a moment as if gathering your thoughts. If they don't continue with "can you see...", at least mentally, they're in a coma and need medical attention.

I'm not sure whether "God Save..." would have the smae effect but maybe I'll try.
