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.

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".

6. In The Memo Field Of All Your Checks, Write "For Sexual Favours"
7. Finish all Your Sentences With "In Accordance With The Prophecy."
8. Dont use any punctuation

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.
17. When The Money Comes Out The ATM, Scream "I Won!, I Won!"
18. When Leaving The Zoo, Start Running Towards The Parking 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."

#14 isnt such a far cry from the truth. I have on many occasions threatened my bosses by telling them that due to the number of "blades" flying around the office I was going to sand bag my desk in and run cam netting around it. I get the funniest looks from them when I say that. I dont know why.

Fly 24 hours long-haul into New Dehli, India and have no hotel reservation and no one there to meet you - if you weren't insane before you landed you will be very very shortly

As if anyone could be that stupid...Fly 24 hours long-haul into New Dehli, India and have no hotel reservation and no one there to meet you - if you weren't insane before you landed you will be very very shortly
"There are only two things that i know are infinite, the universe and human stupidity. And im not so sure about the former."
For all the life of me, i cant see a firefighter going to hell. At least not for very long. We would end up putting out all the fires and annoying the devil too much.

Or fly west from London, arrive in Calgary (first Canadian P.O.C for the flight) to clear Cdn customs. Only to be told that the nail file feature on nail cutters has to either be removed, the cutters left behind or you don't board the flight. I flew in from Dubai - where I went through 2 metal detectors BEFORE I got to the flight check-in. There were two more between the check in and the a/c too. That was followed by Customs at Heathrow, and a trip around on the inter-terminal bus.
Oh.. and the commissionaire who told me I couldnt carry the clippers was of East Indian descent, with limited English skills. What a way to end a 5 month Mid Eastern deployment. I think that was a true test of sanity. All I wanted was to just go home.If you don't do it RIGHT today, when will you have time to do it over? (Hall of Fame basketball player/coach John Wooden)

When you are in a store, make a purchase and the slaes clerk/cashier says "have a nice day", look at them straight in the eye and say with an evil grin...
"no thank you, I have other plans"....

We used to use the expression "BPS"due to the number of "blades" flying around the office

When someone asks you "how are you?", reply "mostly".
When the nurse in the ER asks the patient, "what brings you here?", answer "a big white ambulance" for them.
When someone says, "good morning", reply "prove it!!!"Proud to be honored with IACOJ membership. Blessed by TWO meals cooked by Cheffie - a true culinary goddess. Expressing my own views, not my organization's.

Go into a store, give the clerk a penny and ask if you could have a new one
Go into a Laundromat and dump all the dollar bills you can get your hands onto. just make sure that everyone sees you do it. Your money laundering
