For Fun -- 18 ways to keep a healthy level of sanity

Posted on Apr 20th, 2007 by Mary_C : Fierce Idealist Mary_C

.......or insanity....whichever you prefer.....


1. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.

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. Finish all your sentences with "in accordance with the prophecy."

7. Don t use any punctuation

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

9. Order a diet water whenever you go out to eat with a serious face.

10. Specify that your drive-through order is "to go."

11. Sing along at the opera.

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

13. Put mosquito netting around your work area and play tropical sounds all day.

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

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

16. When the money comes out the ATM, scream "I won! I won!"

17. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling "Run for your lives, they're loose!!"

18. And the final way to keep a healthy level of insanity......send this to someone to make them smile.

Great idea, maze!  My powers of creativity are in slow motion tonight, so I scrounged up some fun quotes from my file.  Hope this helps!

“If you're too open-minded your brain will fall out.” 

“Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in his shoes.  That way if he gets angry, he'll be a mile away and barefoot.”

“Never become irritable waiting for things to get better.  If you'll be patient, you'll find that you can wait much faster.”
