Remote control me baby

If you have ever wondered what it is like to be in someone else's shoes, here is a fun game you can play that will give you some inkling. All you need is two cell phones, a hands-free ear piece and a crazy friend. The one wearing the ear piece is the remote controlee, the other the remote controller but you can take turns.

HOW TO PLAY:
1/ Call each other and establish a sign for "inaudible", such as scratching face or putting hand in pocket. The Controlee will use this sign.
2/ Controlee move away from controller, out of ear shot.
3/ Controlee make sure ear piece is not visible by hiding behind hair or scarf.
4/Controller start telling controlee what to do over the phone, so that controlee hears it through ear piece. For example Controller could say "go up to that woman with the big hat", "say excuse me", "say where can I get a drink", etc...
5/ Controlee must repeat everything Controller says, with intonation. If you can't hear, do the "inaudible" sign and controller will repeat.

TOP TIPS
1/ Resist the temptation to laugh, because the more convincing you are, the funnier it is. This is from first hand experience.
2/ If you happen to find someone to talk to who does not speak English, this is a bonus, particularly if the controller happnes to know the language bu the controlee does not. Then any hesitation due to the timelag of being told what to say before you say it will be simply attributed to the fact you are speaking another language, rather than that you are being remote controlled, creating a very natural conversation. It also gives the controller a real sense of control, as their words are being spoken by a remote body, who has no idea what he/she is saying. It really is like having a machine under your control, except it is a person who appears to the rest of the world to be autonomous.

I DID THIS
last Tuesday with much success.

NOTE
It was not my idea! I was just the crazy friend of someone who was very keen to try this experiment.
