What is Elevator Roulette?
1.
n 1: game played voluntarily or, most often, involuntarily by a person riding an elevator after expelling flatulent fury upon the interior air space of the vessel. Winners are determined by safe and undiscovered passage to intended floor without another passenger entering the space, thereby protecting the identity of the player while in transit.. The game is especially challenging in high rise buildings or during peak riding periods such as lunch or afternoon rush hour.
"Jeez, you remember those sausage & jalapeño nachos I ordered at 1:30 last night at the bar? Yeah man, they gave me some heinously crippling diarrhea this morning at work. I tried to get to that quiet bathroom on the 18th floor before the levee broke, but ended up playing a wicked game of elevator roulette on the way. Yeah man, it could have gagged a maggot. I nearly made it but got busted by a bike messenger getting on at the 16th floor. I feel so sorry for that guy. Yeah man, stunned silence."
