(I actually did that.) *Walk by an agent and say very loudly, "What's so great about him anyway? I'm taller than him." (I did that, as well.) *Walk by a K-9 Unit and whisper, "Kill, Fido, kill." (I was too afraid of what might happen to do this one.) Grant, thank you for coming to the Conference. I rather enjoyed your speech. Haha, I thought of several;

My friend and I learned that the hard way also. I guess we got on the wrong elevator or something. We needed to get to the 3rd floor but the elevator didnt stop there, we ended up going all the way up to the 10th and when the doors opened up this big security guard rushed on and told us we weren't suppose to be up there. So anyway, we got escorted back down to the lobby where many chinese photographers and newscasters mistook us for "important people", they raised up their cameras in excitment but were quickly disappointed to find two FBLA teenagers standing in fear, haha.

Trust, theirs are much cooler. - Use the words, "Olympics," "gymnast," or "cheating" together in any sentence. - Ask him if their McDonald's toys are made in the US. - Challenge him to a ping-pong match, unless you want to lose 173-0.
