St. Patrick's Day Tape Game and Rules


     It is a 5 year old Polish custom to wish someone good luck by taping a piece of tape across their nose on St. Patrick's day. Anyone receiving such a gift will have the luck of the Irish and the humility of the Polish for the next year. The rules are as follows:

1.    To be taped, the tape will be stuck to your nose and must be displayed for the duration of the time period specified below.

2.    When taped, you must wear the tape for at least 15 minutes. This is to avoid personal tragedy.

3.    You can tape anyone with the following exceptions:
     a.    No tape can be donned on any person who has previously taped you.
      b.    You cannot tape anyone while you are wearing the tape.
      c.    You cannot tape someone already wearing the tape.
      d.    You can tape any given person only once.

3.    When wearing the tape and someone asks you: "Why do you have a piece of tape on your nose," you must reply: "WHAT TAPE?"

4.    In the event of a mutual confrontation, ie. two people with tape in hand, a coin toss will determine the winner.
