Event (mis)management

Yesterday,had been to a team outing at a nearby resort.As usual,some events had been planned by an event manager.I’ve participated in such events before and found them to be fun.But this one took the cake(the wrong way round ,though).I don’t know what sort of contorted thinking u need to have to come up with these games. 1.Pass a card(the size of a visiting card),by holding it with your nose and your mouth(like,you got to pout and balance the card between nose and mouth) and pass it like that to the next in line.He has to take the card from you with his nose and mouth.Thank god,for being in India,the ladies were spared this highly absurd act(we were allowed to pass with our hands).But the guys looked so gay trying to “make a pass” to their male colleagues ;-) 2.Potato race : Carry as many potatoes as you can between your thighs(???) and drop it into a circle at the finish line ..What was the event manager thinking ??? That’s like performing your morning ablutions in public view. Only difference is ,you are dropping potatoes.But,this one was hilarious to watch.Most of the participants(and all were guys,mind you,only they enjoy doing crazy acts in public,I think) ,with the potatoes between their thighs,looked like they had been constipated for months together ,and finally happy at the thought of relieving themselves at the finish line :-)
