Try walking swiftly and letting a few walk into you, and see what happens.
It's fun isn't it!

Yah, most just bounce off, but the odd one goes atomic on you, mind you that's fun too, like having your boots mercilessly savaged by a hamster

I've tried it a couple of times, but I'm fairly big so it an be a little dangerous. Although, I must admit to enjoying it! I did it in an MRT station one day, there was a guy standing right infront of the doors and I walked right into him and he ended up on the floor.
I was always told never to pick on people smaller than me though.... Doesn't leave many folk!

To be fair, I tend to only leave it to the biggest blokes I can find!
My 5 year old managed to knock a guy over in Expo at an IT show one time when they walked right into him! That was classic, definite hi-5 moment.
It's funnier seeing 'big' blokes knocked over I think!

Oh boy.
The last this kind of discussion happened, some over-sensitive person accused expats of assault.
