candyprpl Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session. ---Mark Twain (1866)Will Rogers on Government and Politics"I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. With Congress, every time they make a joke it's a law, and every time they make a law, it's a joke.""Never blame a legislative body of not doing something. When they do nothing, that don't hurt nobody. When they do something is when they become dangerous.""The short memories of American voters is what keeps our politics in office.""The more you read and observe about this Politics thing, you got to admit, that each party is worse than the other."

RainofGold Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I know this has nothing to do with wisdom or good thinking, but it was too funny and I thought you guys might enjoy it....RainAnnoying Things To Do On An Elevator1) CRACK open your briefcase or handbag, peer Inside and ask "Got enough air in there?"2) STAND silent and motionless in the corner facing the wall without getting off.3) WHEN arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act as if you're embarrassed when they open themselves.4) GREET everyone with a warm handshake and ask him or her to call you Admiral.5) MEOW occasionally.6) STARE At another passenger for a while. Then announce in horror: "You're one of THEM" - and back away slowly7) SAY -DING at each floor.8) SAY "I wonder what all these do?" And push all the red buttons.9) MAKE explosion noises when anyone presses a button.10) STARE, grinning at another passenger for a while, then announce: "I have new socks on."11) WHEN the elevator is silent, look around and ask: "Is that your beeper?"12) TRY to make personal calls on the emergency phone.13) DRAW a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers: "This is my personal space."14) WHEN there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder, then pretend it wasn't you.15) PUSH the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.16) ASK if you can push the button for other people but push the wrong ones.17) HOLD the doors open and say you're waiting for your friend. After a while, let the doors close and say "Hi Greg, How's your day been?"18) DROP a pen and wail until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream: "That's mine!"19) BRING a camera and take pictures of everyone in the lift.20) PRETEND you're a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the Passengers.21) SWAT at flies that don't exist.22) CALL out "Group hug" then enforce it.
