Fishbowl

When you place a pretend fishbowl on your friends head while they are having a marijuana trip. Then, you and other people around you proceed to have a conversation in silence by moving your lips and not talking. This causes the person in the fishbowl to think that they are actually in a fishbowl and start to freak out even more.

Joey: "Totally!"
