I sat in a crowded coffee shop in the mid 80's when someone started a rhythm pattern with his coffee spoon on the table.
it took only about a minute and the whole coffee shop started in doing rhythms in different ways.
That lasted for about 2-3 minutes.
Than it abruptly stopped, everybody started laughing and went back to their busyness.
Great experience ...

Eric - yep, it's amazing how people can join in! Once on a long bus trip with the USAF Band, someone started opening and closing the ash trays on the seatbacks in our fancy cruising machine... there were about 40 of us on the bus. It was late at night and dark in the bus... then many others started joining in, flipping their ash trays open and closed in different rhythms...it went on with the cacophony growing for about 3 or 4 minutes before our bus screeched to a halt and the poor driver got out of his seat and said "One more click of the #@$*# ash trays and I will no longer be your driver". HA HA. Can't blame him but it was fun too! We all got quiet for the rest of the trip!
