Twenty Reason Game

The game for random reasons, but not random strangers

Twenty reasons is a game in which you need to identify twenty reasons for doing a chosen action. For example, the following is the outcome of a Wiggy Wigster round of "Twenty Reasons...to wear a tie" and has been taken from their now legendary Radio Kettering show "Wiggling at the Wigs", which unfortunately was taken off the air after 3 complaints.

1. It acts as a bib when eating or drinking. It's a little known fact that 1 in 13 coffee cups are deliberately manufactured to dribble.

2. Whilst chewing gum, if worn half cocked a tie will make you look rebellious, street wise and tough. Yet when worn smartly it makes your boss think you’re going for an interview.

3. In winter it acts as an entry level scarf.

4. It can be used to clean your glasses or sunglasses.

5. On hot days or following a particularly fiery curry it can be used to mop the sweat from your brow.

6. It can be used to restrict the flow of blood to an arm that may have suffered a gun shot wound or a snake bite.

7. It can be used as a belt if somebody steals your belt, whereas a belt cannot be used as a tie if somebody steals your tie.

8. When covered in mercury it acts as a compass when lost in the woods.

9. It is ideal for a Rambo fancy dress party. I believe there was one scene in Rambo I in which the man himself wore a suit and tie.

10. It can be looped in half and used as a makeshift sling catapult to defend the earth against an attack by aliens or megalomaniac ants.

11. It is an ideal place to keep an emergency ruler. That’s the plastic underlining and measuring kind and not the likes of Blair, Brown or Cameron.

12. It can be used as an ink blotter after writing a cheque with your favourite fountain pen.

13. If stiffened with starch it can be used to make a sun dial

14. If stuck on a deserted island you can use it to spell out SOS. TOP TIP – If you have a feeling that you could be stranded on a deserted island as part of your daily routine, then make sure you wear a florescent yellow tie for maximum visibility.

15. If you make a citizens arrest then it can be used as handcuffs whilst you escort the accused to the local police station.

16. It is the item to burn in the stand for masculine rights, unless you wear a bra that is.

17. It can be used for making a squirrel hammock, but only for red squirrels as it’s illegal to hammock those pesky grey ones.

18. It can be used as a wind sock to determine if it’s windy enough for your lunchtime hang gliding lesson.

19. It can be used during extremely boring meetings to practise your sea scout knots.

20. It is all you need to start an impromptu three leg race.
