Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 18 June 2017

From time to time we all do things that don’t make much sense.

This week we want you to use this fact in your team name.

If your team name is something that you do that makes no logical sense, you will get a bonus point.

Saying “heads up” when someone should duck.

Pressing harder on the remote control buttons when the batteries are low.

Buying items you don’t need so it doesn’t look like you came in for just one thing.

Asking “how are you” on the phone and saying “that’s good” regardless of their response.

Realising you’re going the wrong way, and looking at your phone so you have an excuse to turn around.

Anything like the above will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.
