Default OT: American theme

Hi

sorry for straying off topic but I need a little help.

My work is having an American theme at the moment and I have been tasked with decorating 4 desks in an American theme. The rest of the office has a head start on me so the following themes are gone:

Old west salloon
hollywood / the oscars
harley davidson
cowboys and indians

I would like to create something really imaginative, and I have a budget of £20 and a timescale of half a day to get this done

any ideas guys?

Mel

Leave the table empty, with a sign saying 'Weapons of mass destruction that we found in Iraq'.

Leave the second table empty, with a sign saying 'Profile of the Pesident's Brain'.

Push the last two tables together and lay out a tape measure from one end to the other, with a note saying, 'Size of the average Americans ego'.

Not much work involved and you'll be a dead cert for promotion!!

Glad to be of some help.

It was me who reminded Einstien to carry the '1', otherwise he would have been a nobody!
