THIMBLE TOSSED! GAME PIECE VOTED OUT OF MONOPOLY BOARD GAME!

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — You can still pass “Go” and collect $200 on the Monopoly board, but you soon won’t be able to do it with the thimble game piece.

Voters have rejected the thimble, an integral part of the game since being added to Monopoly in 1935. The move is part of a campaign to select the next generation of game pieces.

Hashtags, emojis and even a rubber duck may replace dogs, cats and hats in an upcoming version.

Hasbro Inc. is holding a worldwide contest to let people choose the eight tokens to be included in the next generation of the property acquisition game, based on the real streets of Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Winners will be announced March 19, and will be included in games hitting shelves this August.

HOW TO RECRUIT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB?…TRY NOT TO LAUGH!

Business People Waiting Nervously

Put about 100 bricks in some
Particular order in a closed
Room with an
Open window.

Then send 2 or 3 candidates in
The room and close the door.

Leave them alone and come back
After 3 hours and then analyze the situation.

If they are counting the bricks,
Put them in the Accounts Dept.

If they are recounting them,
Put them in Audit.

If they messed up the whole place with bricks,
Put them in Engineering.

If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order,
Put them in Planning.

If they are throwing the bricks at each other,
Put them in Operations.

If they are sleeping,
Put them in Security.

If they have broken the bricks into pieces,
Put them in information Technology.

If they are sitting idle,
Put them in Human Resources.

If they say they have tried different combinations
yet not a brick has been moved,
Put them in Sales.

If they have already left for the day,
Put them in Marketing.

If they are staring out of the window,
Put them on Strategic Planning.

And then last but not least,
If they are talking to each other
And not a single brick has been moved,
Congratulate them and put them in Top Management!
