I have to spend the next 5 hours in the Warsaw airport→[More:] Please tell me a story, or otherwise entertain me during this horribly boring time.
See, this is how you play the game: all the participants sit down in a circle. When everyone's sat down, they proceed to remove their (and do pay attention because this is very important) left shoe. Holding the shoe firmly in hand, they count to three and on the count of three they throw it as far as they can. And then the person who had played the game before starts to laugh -- probably because everyone else just threw their shoes away, but he didn't.
Daniel Charms, that's a good game. Does the circle face in or out though? If everybody faces in, someone would get hit by flying shoes, is that part of the game?
