One of the ways in which we while away the winter hours in the
lab
is to place a few pieces of dry ice in a latex glove and then tie it
shut. Over the next hour or so, the dry ice sublimes and the glove
gradually expands to beach-ball dimensions. Eventually (if it has
no
pinhole leaks)
it makes a satisfying bang.
MaxCo Office Brightening, Inc., is now proud to bring this
harmless
fun to the boardroom. The MaxCo Slowly Inflating Exective Pen
looks like a classy fountain pen, but is actually a black latex
balloon
stretched over a cylindrical wire frame.
As you go into the meeting, simply unscrew the end of the SIEP
and
pop in a few pieces of dry ice before placing it nonchalently on the
table. As you review the month's sales figures in Powerpoint, your
SIEP will slowly expand to become a large pennish marrow, to the
bewilderment and consternation of your colleagues.
NOTE: MaxCo Office Brightening, Inc., is a firm with Family
Values.
We actively discourage the use of double-entendres regarding
slowly
inflating cylinders.

lots of uses for dry ice in the bored-meeting: slowly raising the table while tilting the chairs back, for instance. |

We can use stuff from the poles. |

I think it should have a remote activated plug at the end, so that at a critical moment it can be sent rarting around the room while deflating madly. |

Hippo, Wagster, Pocmloc: if you're not going to take this
seriously then neither shall I. |

//if you're not going to take this seriously// My annotation was 100% deadly serious; I never jest, least of all on here. Now I feel hurt. |
