Mandarins have given rise to art works.
Your party tip is to introduce your guests to a new parlor game. Start by serving your guests as many mandarins as they can eat. (After a meal I usually eat six at a sitting.) As your guests peel the mandarins, collect the peel stars that they generate. Once they are through eating, it's time to begin the game. Treating a peel star as a Rorschach blot, put it down in front of a guest and ask him or her to blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. Record the answer, discard the peel star, and proceed around the table, repeating the procedure for each guest. You will have enough peel stars for several circuits of the table. Once you have exhausted the peel stars, withdraw to the back room and study the answers. Infer each guest's deepest fears and wildest fantasies. Invite each guest into the back room one at a time, reveal the hidden mental barriers that have been revealed by the test, explain how these unseen chains have been holding each guest back, and then send each guest home in the possession of knowledge needed to burst these deeply buried psychological fetters. Free at last, each guest will surge ahead in life and in later years will think back to your "parlor game" as the critical point at which their lives turned around and took off into sustained happiness and success.
