How to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity

I found this while I was cleaning out my desk. I might have to try a couple of these before I leave here.

1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.

2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.

3. Every time someone asks you to do something , ask if they want fries with that.

4. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "in".

5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to Espresso.

6. In the memo field of all your checks write "For Smuggling Diamonds".

7. Finish all your sentences with "In Accordance with the Prophecy".

8. Dont use any punctuation

9. As often as possible, skip rather then walk.

10. Order a Diet Water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.

11. Specify that your drive through order is "to go".

12. Sing along at the Opera

13. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme

14. Put Mosquito netting around your work area and play tropical sounds all day.

15. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood.

16. Have your co-workers address you by your wrestling name, "Rock Bottom".

17. When the money comes out of the ATM scream, "I Won! I Won!"

18. When leaving the zoo start running towards the parking lot yelling "run for your lives, they are loose".

19. Tell your children over dinner, "due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."

20. And the final way to keep a healthy level of insanity.....Share this list with someone to make them smile..it's called therapy.

I love this!

Here's a few more to add to the list:
- Stand facing the rear wall in an elevator.
- Have a picnic on the merry-go-round in the park (and keep the thing spinning - at least slowly - the whole time).
- Start sentences with "Simon Says".

And, I've actually done 2, 4, 11, 17 and 18!
