How to keep 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 at work. 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 sexual favors". 7. Finish all your sentences with "in accordance with the prophecy." 8. Don't use any punctuation marks 9. As often as possible, skip rather than walk. 10. Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer. 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. Play a tape of jungle 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 coworkers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard Kim. 17. When the money comes out the ATM, scream "I won!", "I won!" "3rd time this week!!!!!" 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." And the final way to keep a healthy level of insanity....... 20. Send this e-mail to everyone in your address book, even if they sent it to you or asked you not to send them stuff like this. |

Hey, Betina, this is brilliant! You don’t work for the government, by any chance?  I would love to do all that at my (private) company, but if I did, I would not be staying around for too long…

I really DID have a friend who used to cross his cheques " for sexual favours". He also used to write the amount and end it " and not a penny more" He was our best man. He also wore a superman costume under his PJ's on his wedding night - you just have to love him!
love and kisses, Jan

It was when he hid in the bathroom to get changed that she got suspicious. Came out with PJ's buttoned to the neck and said "there's something about me that I havn't told you.." before ripping over his shirt to reveal blue and red S beneath. He hasn't changed, she's still married to him, the woman is a saint! love and kisses, Jan
