When I was a kid, I used to have one of those old watches that was a tv remote/calculator. Using it in school or dept. stores was always fun. Same deal.

Very Funny!

But at the same time...I know how the other people feel. I've been to and worked at SEMA before, and it is not fun when stuff goes wrong and you can't figure out why. In this case, it's an innocent prank and didn't really harm anything.

I don't know if I would have done it in the middle of a presentation though.

Funny for everything but the presentation. That was just completely unprofessional.

The joke will be on them when they return next time.
