jellybean poll

[fearlesstemp]

Tonight at dinner, my brother and I were discussing the jellybean contest held at one of the three (3) Easter gatherings we attended last weekend. During the brunch, a jar of jellybeans was passed around with a piece of paper on which you were to write down your name and the number of jellybeans you thought were in the jar. There was an unspecified cash prize to go to the winner (the bill was folded up on top of the jar and held there by clear tape, but the denomination was obscured by a sticker) as well as the jar of jellybeans. BIG STAKES!

Our discussion centered on acceptable vs. not acceptable behavior in such a contest. Imagine you are taking part in such a contest, and while watching the jar of jellybeans make its way around, you notice someone counting the number of beans on the bottom and then counting the number of layers in the jar. Your reaction!

The unwritten rule for jellybean contests is wild guessing! Writing a number off the top of your head! Rattling the jellybean jar in the hopes that you'll get inspired with the right number!

I should say those are my unwritten rules. I have done the rattling thing. That never seems to work but I live in hope that it will someday.

Hee! I didn't know this unwritten rule, and apparently cheated in the eyes of others! Most people in the poll are fellow count-and-multipliers, though, I'll have lots of fellow morally questionable peeps to share my jellybeans with. :)
