When I become a big wig I'm going to install a pool table in the office to identify and weed out slack asses that work for me.

A pool table would weed me out. A ping pong table, foosball table, or even an old Mattel hand held football game. I am easily distracted and do not like to work. so pretty much anything would work with me.

I am an exceptionally lazy person when it comes to work because it bores me. I've had projects that have kept me entertained for a couple of months, even up to a year, but it never lasts. And then I would just rather play pool or nintendo or mattel football or ping pong or checkers. Anything.

We have a ping pong table and two pool tables at work. There is always action going on. Dan, you should suggest an around the world ping pong game at work. It's super fun and allows people who aren't great at ping pong to participate (and it's a work out when you have to run around the table).

Had a ping pong and Foosball table at my last office. We played all the time. Can't say that it cut into our productivity. We just worked harder when we weren't playing so we had more time to play. We got a little too serious about it... I actually own a paddle that has titanium in it. It's unbelievable to play with.

Great suggestion. That is a fun game. I showed the kids in my son's church youth group how to play that one night at some friend's house. Competitive 13 year old boys were battling!

A place I used to work had a table and we loved it.
