“We” meaning somebody will carry fink up Mt Everest

I’m not really sure Parcheesi counts as a team-building exercise..

…because it’s there.

I’ll hire the sherpas.

The bonding only happens among the survivors.

Maybe you should just continue the beatings until morale improves…

What did the atom say to the other atom it wanted to bond with?

“I’ve got my ion you”

What do you call the chemical bond in minerals?

A gems bond.

The names Bond

Ionic Bond

Electrons taken, not shared

The attempt to reach the top of Everest will fail. No attempt succeeded until 1953. That was also the year that Queen Elizabeth II was crowned after succeeding her father George VI the previous year. It was also the year that the first James Bond book “Casino Royale” was published. “Casino Royale” was adapted for TV as early as 1954 and became a spoof Bond movie starring David Niven and Peter Sellers in 1967 before it became an official Bond movie in 2006.

I think that Bung’s expression says it all!

Because no one can play parcheesi. Actually, no one has a clue what the heck parcheesi even is.

The goal is too high.

That will surely put the “exercise” in “bonding exercise”.

Sure, why not. Everyone else is.

LOL

Or, a pancake supper or covered dish dinner. Gathering around the dinner table is the best way to bond.

Last one up there is a rotten egg

And one of them will be flown to the top of the mountain by a billionaire friend.

The morale will somehow improve. Alternatively, there will be fewer to have it.

No, thank you.

I’ll take the risk of death over the normal get to know your coworker stuff.

And of course, the King should lead the way…..

If by chance the king reaches the summit, he’ll probably the first to reach the bottom in a move called “The Snow ball Effect”. “Heads up below, the King’s coming through!” Uh, thank yuh, thank yuh veruh much!"

I’d go with the Parcheesi tournament personally…

It thins out the clumsiest. I would be among the first to go.

Good, take the fink up and drop from the top of Everest. Save the peasants, young men.
