Oh here's a good one that happened over dinner last night. My hubby bit his tongue while eating. I gave him a number between between 1-26. I said 7, made him see what the 7th letter in the alphabet was..letter "G" he said..I said the first name of any person you know that comes into your mind that starts with letter G is the one who was thinking of you or saying things about you when you bit your tongue. This is a common Filipino thingy...lol!
