My gosh...what a thing it would be to win a door in a door prize drawing.<br><br>Sorry.<br><br>Yes, a door prize is a common incentive at conferences and such. Basically anyone who comes through the door at an event is issued a ticket and at the end of an event, a draw is held for small prizes. It results in a peculiar dynamic whereby a number is read out, one person cheers, 160 people groan and everyone makes a quick recovery and congratulates the victor on their skillful acquisition of a T-shirt that is too big for them.<br>
<br>You might not be aware of it, but we North Americans have some peculiar customs.<br><br>:-)<br><br>Chris<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 11:13 AM, avner <<a href="mailto:avnerh@zahav.net.il">avnerh@zahav.net.il</a>> wrote:<br>
