Ever been to the loo and found small bits of rolled up paper on the floor?
It was me.

Here at work we have a really efficient extractor in the toilets. Each toilet has it's own room... not a cubicle.

Each door has a 1cm gap to allow fresh air under...

Each extractor fan is as far away from the door as possible, i.e. over you.

I once noted the swirling of a spider's web under the door. I decided, mid-turd, to explore this air current.

The goal is this: To hit the kick-plate on the bottom of the door with a well aimed throw, and to get the ball of bog-paper to return to you, assisted on the under-door breeze.

Over the years I can get fairly consistent results. Best results are gained when it is windy, with a pea-sized ball, perfectly round and totally dry. These have bounce.

Extra points for managing to throw the ball UNDER the door, and managing to get it to return under wind-power.

Truly an addictive game.


Apologies for posting a Nerd story... but it kind of is a guilty pleasure. People walk in after me and it looks as though I've savagely murdered a bean-bag.

"Savagely murdered a bean bag"
Have a *click* for the mental image!
