Subject: Re: Paper, Scissors, Stone
I found when playing this with my brother (alone), I only needed to force the
initial paper, scissors or stone. I did this by rushing into the room he was in
sticking my Vs up at him, then challenged him to a game. (Very mature I know)
After the first one - he chose scissors - I then said, "My stone beats your
scissors!" Next, he chooses the ommitted one from this sentence. He chose
paper, "My scissors beat your paper!" He chose stone, "My paper beats your
stone!"
I think that may be why Derren plays best of three. Who knows.
Now, can you use Pattern Interrupts to convince shop assistants the fiver you
handed them is a twenty?
My idea: Hand over product with a 20 pound note on top of it, retaining the
money in your hand. Assistant scans it, looks at you and says, "Nineteen, 99
pl..."
Loudly exclaim, "Arse candles!"
Blank look.
"I'm sorry, this is a 20 pound note!" Hand them a fiver.
I'm too scared to test the theory. Anyone?
