You could also use this to mask the passing-of-gas smells in your workspace. |

Don't forget to disconnect the smoke alarms. [+] |

//A great mind-focussing tool; excessive black-smoke-meetings equals a lock-in and starvation until we get the result we crave.// |

I think suffocation would be more of an issue first- thus it also builds in a deadline for the meeting's conclusion; somewhat literally. |

Brilliant title! Two words that, hitherto, no one had realised were meant to be together but now we see them coupled, we wonder how we got along without the pairing. |

I was toying with "Desktop open-top bus round Trafalgar Square" but it wasn't as snappy. |
|
| |
I think these should be fitted to public bathroms |

When it's time to stop work and have a nice cup of tea a tiny Pope should come out onto the balcony and announce it to the cheering crowds below. |
|
| |
The blue smoke doesn't suffice? |
|
| |
I do like a bit of alliteration. |
|
| |
Most meetings that I have attended generate a large quantity of handouts, which, after the meeting, are no longer of any use. Rather than recycle, burn them in the meeting room Vatican along with an additive that colors the smoke as needed. |

[James Newton] I'm a bit worried - crackingly superb annotation but we're going to have to make it environmentally friendly otherwise we're doomed. |

It would be very surprising if the range
of
chemicals produced by burning surplus
office paper were much different from
those produced by burning tobacco
leaves
(alkaloids aside). And everyone knows
that it is dangerous even to *look* at
tobacco smoke with both eyes.
I can see little puffs of steam working
for
the white smoke. Not sure how to solve
the black-smoke problem, though. |
|
| |
If you can solve this, I will place my
order. Especially with the teatime papal
announcer option. |

Inspired by MB's challenge, I found a supplier of smoke bombs (see link). £43 for 6 outdoor smoke grenades plus p&p. The technology seems to exist...now to adapt it... |

A sanctified bun for you. The black smoke shall be generated by the destruction of bad ideas. |
|

I had an idea to add a mini-Auschwitz for incorrigible officemates, but that's too crass even for the HB. |
|
| |
What - or who - do you burn for the white smoke? Or do you just run the Vaticette on a rich mix for a while? |
|
| |
I think I like this more so than I should? |
|
| |
(Perhaps I am just an old sentimental fool
when it comes to workplace
entertainment. ) |
|

I live in tobacco country come Oct. when they burn the rest of last years that exceeded their license man theirs no good way to decried a tone of burning tobacco outer then close the windows. |

Too often, we struggle without help and succeed without recognition. Maybe a bit of smoke, before it sets the alarms off, would make us feel more valuable. |

Lumburg: Peter... (Black smoke begins to trickle out of chimney.) |
|
| |
Mmmmmmm... yeah... (Black smoke now steadily pouring out.) |
|
| |
I'm gonna need to... go ahead and ask you to come in tommorrow, (Smoke now shooting out in full force) |
|
| |
And Sunday too... (Smoke now fills office) |
|
| |
We had to let a few people go and we gotta play "catch-up"... (Visibility at zero now) |
|
| |
Mmmmmm K?... Peter? Where'd you go?? (Peter escapes matrix style and goes fishing with Laurence for the weekend) |
|
| |
Time to fire up the chimneys |
|
| |
They need a more environmentally-correct version.
Perhaps a series of colored LEDs... |
