World Cup Musings, Part 6 - A Simple Project


Okay, this will wrap up my 2010 FIFA World Cup coverage. Yes, I know the thing's been over for a week.

Here is a simple project that will provide hours of fun at work. You too can make your own yellow and red cards, just like the soccer referees have! Well almost. I guess the real cards don't say things like, "1009-2 Classic Red" or "3009-1 Elizabethan Yellow" on them. But hey, let's not get bogged down by the details.

Yes, that's right. Simply go to your local hardware store and grab some (free!) paint swatches. You'll need to get two red and two yellow, because they are not colored on both sides. Glue them back-to-back and you're done!

Now you're ready to use them. When in meetings, when someone mouths off or does something rude, hold the card up high to give them a yellow card (warning) or a red card (kick them out!). Or give people a card for no reason at all! Tons of fun, and totally free!

You're welcome.

  2. Good. Similar to the Trumpeting elephant sound from your cell phone when there is an 'elephant in the room' in the meeting.
