... you start finding similarities between eating lunch and the finals.

I'm eating lunch with a plastic fork and I just heard a snap, so I gingerly examined my fork, fearing the worst ... but, for the life of me I can't find any structural damage ... I might put it in a wheelchair just to be safe and queue up the theme from Rocky in hopes that I can finish my meal with this heroic fork.

 ... every time you throw something in the waste basket, you're looking for an "and one!"

 ... every time someone else throws something into the waste basket, you have to block it before it starts it's downward arc.

 ... every time your alarm goes off, you re-set it for 24 seconds.

 ... every time someone touches you inadvertantly, you expect two free-throws.
