ConversationSheep
The conversation sheep
Right,
I've decided I want to instigate a 'talking sheep'.
The office would have to be silent, all the time, apart from the person holding the talking sheep. (It'd probaly just be a stuffed 'shaun' from wallace and gromit, although real life lambs are cool too.)
So if you wanted to talk about something, at any volume louder than a whisper you'd need to get the sheep from the current 'shepard', maybe by making the sign of the 'sheep dog' (with bark.), which would tell the 'shepard' (ie, the person talking) that you wanted to 'round up' (or take control of) the sheep (the conversation.)
If however you were being boring or repetative (or just annoying me) then the rest of the 'flock' (office) would be able to silence you by bleating ('Baaaaaa!')
Maybe it needs a little polishing up, but basically it's a sound idea. (and it has explanations in brackets, which are always good.)
