two hands gripped behind my neck like a vertical sit up, or one on my elbow and the other on my chin - to make them atleast think I am thinking about thinking what we're thinking about, or gorilla knuckled on the desk leering...depends on current mood...

I think you know how I voted.

Tard.

But here's an idea: carry three small golf-ball sized items--perhaps 귤 would be better--and teach yourself to juggle.

1. Something to do with your hands.
2. Great way to meet people.
3. Tones your agility and sharpens your reflexes.
4. The 귤 can double as a snack for a hungry young nob like yourself.

But in any case, what I really do is always carry a small black notepad and jot down thoughts or observations while I am hanging about. People either think I am artsy or a spy so it often leads to amusing glances from passers-by.

P.S. I do know how to juggle, so there.

One hand on your hip, the other hand making the 'jerking off' gesture.

You'll get some mild exercise, and your hands will have something to do. Furthermore, you'll send a clear message to your colleagues, who will consider your display of dexterity to be quite impressive.

Is this a euphemistic version Maserial's suggestion? If it is, I assume you aren't Jewish...

Yeah, if I have pockets of any type, I usually do the thumb-hook thingy...almost never the whole hand in the pocket no matter how deep.

No pockets=>hands on hips. But, I'm a girl, so I can get away with it.
