This guy has swallowed a ping pong ball which will fall further down his throat if he moves his head out of this position. Thus, he is in the lift trying not to breathe in or out until he reaches the appartment of his best friend who will carefully remove the ping pong ball using his vacuum cleaner.

Actually, the chap is a consultant for a firm that specialises in lift interior decoration.
At present, he is checking the angles on a deco sample in the corner. He is in the process of confirming that it is appropriate for the lighting on each floor, one by one.
He is also secretly hoping a network will take up the pilot for a new reality show he is involved with, “Celebrity Face-Lift”, where a team of minor media personalities have one hour to redocorate old elevators in public buildings. Preferably libraries.

He’s just finished a gig in the vein of Pete Murray and is about to do a lightening change into his superhero alter-ego: Slash from Guns ‘n’ Roses. The lift leads down to his basement stronghold where he keeps his collection of scary leather outfits, frightening hair extensions, cigarettes and seriously loud guitar amps.
He’s currently warming up his gravel vocal chords for an underground rendition of “Sweet Child O’ Mine”.

A thought bubble emerges from his head…
“Shoes, I like your shoes. The lines of brown piping converge towards the tongue, snaking towards the warm, moist, odouress confines of the pink leather upper.”
A chime, a jolt, and the inventor of the Reebok Pump left the humid confines of the lift.

Thank you for your entries…
The closest to the truth is between Natalie’s and ofducks sugestions. So each win a PrIzE. (Which is a pie).
Basically this is Jeff, he was at a dinner party at Howard and Natalie Read (OK, natalie isn’t technically a Read yet but give it 12 months!).
Someone asked how I made comedians look like rockstars, So like a make over program I took Jeff out and in half an hour had taken a Rock Star photo of him (I was thinking along the lines of Tom Waits). We then projected the image on the wall and everyone clapped and Jef wondered why he was wearing mascara!
I’m forwarding your comments to Jeff now, as he had no idea this is online!
