Every new job or reorganization brings on yet another box of 1000 business cards that I couldn't use up in a lifetime. How about a collection of sports that allowed business card holders to compete. This would make a great pastime for business travelers at airports and bored office workers. Here are
some examples.
Business Card (BC) Disc Golf: Tees marked on the floor of airports with small trash baskets on poles. Sort of an airway fairway.
BC Distance, Accuracy, Height, and Maximum Time Aloft (MTA) competitions: Restricted classes where BCs must be thrown like a disc and open class where they can be crumpled, shaped into gliders, etc.
BC Freestyle: Clever tricks like boomerang throws and BC magic (fastest distribution of BCs across a table at a business meeting)
BC Engineering contests: Tallest house, sturdiest bridge, etc.
I can even imagine BC vendors making BCs with rounded edges and special stock to facilitate certain sports. I would think that lots of incentives and events would be supported by the BC vendors who stand to gain considerably.
On the subject of business cards.

I like this idea only if one can use five or six cards to fashion a Chinese throwing star to give the games a bit of an edge (and reduce the number of business men). |

Or you could just hand out imprinted discs. The rolodex might have to change. |

I like beaming business cards via Palm. |

Not getting anything - try holding it lower. |

A friend of mine has a hobby of collecting business cards that feature unusual job titles. The prize of his collection is from a temporary appointee in the International Standards Organization, in the department that runs the atomic clocks everyone synchronizes with. His title: |
