h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The object of the game is not to be caught touching the floor, anyone who can see you touching the floor must shout "See you" loudly or lose 1 life, if they do this they gain 1 life and you lose 1 life. Winner is the player with most lives at a pre-decided time.

This is a highly tactical game, for example movement round the office can be achieved by dragging yourself around in your chair, or if seeing a work-mate talking to the boss, deliberately allow him to see you touch the floor, and when he doesn't shout out lick your finger and draw a large 1 in the air.

On one occasion I needed to go to the far side of the office while a client was in the office. I knew that someone would shout 'See you' and pass it off as a sneeze if I walked across, and as it was nearly end-game time, and I was winning, I wished to avoid that. So.... I stood on my chair and climbed onto the desk took the tube out of the flourescent light, stepped desk to desk across the office until I could reach the cupboard. Removed the tube above that desk and replaced it with the one I carried. Opened the cupboard and removed the equipment I needed (BACS PIN Generator) and crossed desk by desk back to my own and replaced the tube with the one I'd removed from the other fitting. Smiled as if pleased with myself and then dropped into the seat. Client looks dumfounded - as a spontaneous round of applause breaks out - and I blow it all by standing up to take a bow.
