Office jousting
All you need is a large room with a wooden floor, chairs with wheels, some cardboard tubes nicked from the mailroom and a makeshift shield. Optional ribbons for your hair.

You'll need someone to push you. Better still, someone to push.

Both jousters sit in their chairs at opposite ends of the office (the longer the room the better). They're then pushed towards each other at high speed. Just watch as the laughter changes to shrieks of horror as they match their collision course. Even funnier, watch them stick their legs out to defend themselves.

Me and my mate tried it and we scraped all the skin off each others' shins and spent the next week limping around the office 'cos we stupidly stuck our legs out thinking that'd stop us from colliding. Yeah, right.

Hilarious fun! And it poses no danger to anyone whatsoever.
