Once you have begun
your party, tell everybody that you are going to pass around a spool
of thread and that they are to take a piece "as long as they think
they will need". They will begin asking ... "need for what etc." You
smile and say, oh it could be for anything, just take a piece as long
as you think you will need, and pass the spool. Of course they might
think well whoever comes closest to going around their waist etc. Or
if they see their closest neighbor sitting to them takes a real short
piece, they will take a real long piece. After everybody has taken
their thread, you tear off a piece and wrap it once around your finger
and hold telling them they have to do the same and they have to talk
about themselves for as long as it takes to wind the rest of the
thread around their finger. Start by telling them about yourself and
your business (so take a longer piece) It can get wild if somebody
has taken yards of thread!
