I've created a new game; it's called "Businessman Chicken."
Which, technically, in the name of equality, should probably be "Businessperson Chicken," but whatever.
It works as follows: First you initiate a handshake. Then you continue the handshake way past any reasonable point. Then you start saying vaguely businesslike things to the other person. But businesslike in a 60-year-old on an 80's sitcom sort of way. Examples:
"I'll have Johnson fax you those reports in the morning."
"You just don't have what it takes to get ahead in this game, son."
"How are your quarterlies coming along?"
"I won't stand for you whipper-snappers running around like you own the place."
"You've got the steely-eyed glint of a true negotiator."
This continues until the other person either laughs or disengages the handshake and walks away, shaking their head at your inability to carry on a normal, adult conversation.
I am the queen of Businessman Chicken.
