Buy a tray of stale doughnuts for 2,000 crowns ($60 American) and throw them at anybody you wish. The idea is based on the idea of a Czech humorist- there are three categories of people, 1. those who would look at a bowl of doughnuts and think nothing, 2. those who dream of throwing them and 3. those who would actually do it.
