Description
GUESSING
This game is very active, and can often take a long time. One player leaves the room. The pimp then gets a series of suggestions, that all add up to the excuse the vacant player is going to give to his boss to explain why he was late to work. The following four things are needed:
1. Where he was.
2. What problem he ran into.
3. How he solved it, and
4. In what vehicle he got back to work.

The player then returns to the room and runs frantically to his boss, who demands an explanation. While the player who was outside tries to piece together this explantion, his fellow co-workers mime the suggested words and phrases behind the bosses back, occasionally taking a break when the boss turns around.
