Okay, so if I build a bridge from X to Y, it's a great bridge.
If I build a bridge from A to B it's a terrible bridge.
Do you want to build a bridge?
(If the person says Okay as a part of their bridge proposal, it is good. If not, then the bridge is bad)
This is a great way to make everyone at a gathering hate you.
Okay, so the correctness of the bridge is there because there is okay at the beginning of the sentence am I right?
I know a similar one where you say some kind of finger counting verse, in the end you put your arms akimbo and request the other person(s) repeat it. It doesn't matter if they get the finger counting right, because it only counts if they also get the akimbo correct.
It's fun to do in a group of slightly drunk people, until all got it but one. Then it feels like bullying... :/
