02/18/2004: "Stalled car at traffic lights? Speed away to look manly!"

I was in a lift at work when a man carrying a small ball got in. He bounced it against the back of the lift and, instead of catching it, fumbled, dropped it and watched in dignity-sapping horror as it rolled out of the lift as the doors began closing.

Being polite, I held the doors open for him. Retrieving his ball he laughed self-consciously and said something like: “That’s what you get for trying to look cool.” I agreed and suggested he practice more. Or got a yo-yo.

In what dimension of time and space is bouncing a ball in an elevator 'cool'?
...you should have let the door close; that WOULD have been cool! :cool:
