20 ways to maintain a healthy level of insanity

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. speak and don't use any punctuation .

9. as often as possible, skip rather than 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. put mosquito netting around your work area and play

tropical sounds all day at work.

14. go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.

15. five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend

their party because you're not in the mood.

16. have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name,

rock bottom.

17. when the money comes out the atm, scream "i won! i won!"

18. when leaving the zoo, start running towards the pa r king

lot yelling, "run for your lives, they're loose!!"

19. tell your children over dinner "due to the economy, we

are going to have to let one of you go."

I like the one about sitting in your car with the hair dryer!! I'm going to try that sometime!

Also the diet water thing - LOLOL.

I wish I'd seen the "fries" one while I still worked at the hospital - there were times when I felt like we need the waitress order pads when we'd go into a room. :lol2:

There is a KFC here in my town where I've actually been asked "Is that for here or to go?".........and I was in the drive-through:uhoh3:

Funny stuff!!

I would have to add "Sit in your office and pop bubble wrap" to this list. It's a lot cheaper than therapy!!;)
