I invented a new game.

I call it Blue-Tooth Improv, or BTI for short.

Here is how you play.

When ever you are in public and next to someone talking loudly on their cel, or over a Blu-Tooth head-set(or just to themselves) improvise the other half of the conversation.

This can be your own internal monologue, or if they are not dangerous looking, and you have some friends nearby for backup, you can do this right out loud.

Example:

Caller: "Hey Jo, What's up?"
You: "My IQ. See, I know what a phone is so I don't have to yell in my end."

Caller: That's great. So, any word on the Jones thing?
You: No word, he's a deaf mute you prat.

etc etc.

Extra points are awarded if,
1)The caller, talking on the phone, actually sounds like he answers one of your lines.
2)Confusing the caller over whom they are talking too.
3)Confusing third party listeners over whom is talking to whom.
4) Getting third party listeners to laugh out loud.
5) If playing internally, super extra points if you make yourself laugh out loud.
6) If playing externally, super extra points if you make them hang up the phone.

Points are lost for,
1) Not finishing your lines before they talk.
2) Dead air between your finished line and their talk.
3) If playing internally, you get so wrapped up in the game you bump into something or someone.
4) Extra Super Points lost if playing internally your grin and laughter causes you to be led away by men in white coats to the nice quite room with padded walls.
5) Extra Super Points are lost if playing externally and the caller gets enraged and beats you to a whimpering pulp.

When you figure out point values as well as the required number for victory, you let us know. [ROFL]
