Office Gambling

I love office gambling - taking bets on everything from how many times the boss will say "Uh" in the meeting, or how just how many paper balls we can shoot into the waste basket. Not to mention superbowl squares (or squares for any game), and the group lottery (the only legal form we partake in).

Today, my friend told me that they were betting in her office whose car would leave the parking lot first (there's a storm predicted for this evening)

We just really need to get a Roulette Wheel installed - that would be awesome. I'll bet $2 on number 17!

I'm personally a fan of getting a poker table... Texas Hold 'Em rules!

I worked at a Mtg Co. a few years back where the operations manager would talk very fast during meetings, and say "well guess what?" about every other sentence when addressing the group. I thought I was the only one who noticed it, but apparently the other underwriters, etc were not actually taking notes anymore, but counting how many times she said "well guess what?" during the staff meeting. Then they'd all get together and agree on the number, and if your were closest to the number the others would take you out to lunch.
