What amuses me is *everyone considers themselves above average. Average itself becomes a dirty word. An 'average' film is not worth seeing and if something is 'very average' don't give it another thought.... All we end up doing is swapping words.

Here's something fun to relieve the boredom (copied from a slightly wacky utterly brilliant coder friend of mine). Set up a stand on a kinda busy city corner, get a stack of chocolate bars. Get a stack of 20c coins. Put up a sign setting the price for the chocolate bars at -20c. Maximum one per person. Insist that people take both a chocolate bar AND the 20c. It's hilarious, people get confused by the concept of a negative price, and walk away without anything, even though they wanted a chocolate bar. Crowds are bad as one person grasps it and passes it on, it works best on one or two people at a time.
