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 cheques, write "For Sexual Favors"
7. Finish all your sentences with "In Accordance With the Prophecy."
8. Don't use any punctuation
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 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
Hard.
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."

The hair dryer idea got me to thinking: do you suppose there are people out on the road who bought a Ford Crown Victoria because it seemed like a nice, big comfortable ride and don't know why they always seem to be stuck behind drivers who insist on driving at precisely the posted speed limit?

| Grachman, in context then, all your questions are valid. Where're you going if you don't mind me asking? |

Well, sorry I couldn't be of any help...this time. I can't say I'm going to give up on you so easily. Best wishes with your intense hike.
