[b]Hilarious Ways To Have Fun At Work[/b]

[b][u]Social and Behavioral Studies[/u][/b]

[u]Start rumors,[/u]

Examples:

company relocating, new boss, random drug testing, phone bugging, compulsory personality testing, new compulsory exercise policy, etc.

See how far the rumors escalate.

[u]Getting away without doing any work[/u]

Sneaky naps - for people with their own offices without windows. Spill paper clips, pencils or staples on the floor about 6 feet from the door to your office. Lie down and go to sleep with your feet against the closed door and your hand in the pile of paper clips. When someone pushed the door open, quickly get up on your knees, and you have the perfect excuse for being on the floor!

[u]Prank[/u]

Find a small cardboard box and remove the bottom. Place it on your chosen victim's desk with the bottomless side down on the desk. Fill the box with hole-punch waste, seal the box lid and adress it to the victim. When the victim gets to their desk, they will automatically pick up the box and create their own little blizzard!

[u]Social and Behavioral Studies[/u]

Go up to Frank, when he's talking with Dave, and a group of others, and say "Hey Frank, do your impression of Dave!" When Frank protests that he doesn't do an impression of Dave, you say "Don't be modest, you had the whole room in fits yesterday". The leave.

(That one I've done :) )

[i]Prank[/i]

Put Deep Heat muscle rub on all toilet seats.

Have a great weekend, y'all! B-)

The prank reminds me of grade 6. A couple of us stayed in class during recess and swapped the entire classroom backwards, all desks, teachers desk etc. Then we took the goldfish and flipped his bowl upside down with a piece of glass on top, put it on his desk and slipped the glass out from under it. :D

Yeah, I ws nice ONCE, when I was really little.

Are you worried now about how to stay stressed?
You'll have no trouble if you practice the following clinically proven methods:

NEVER EXERCISE.
Exercise wastes a lot of time that could be spent worrying.

EAT ANYTHING YOU WANT.
Hey, if cigarette smoke can't cleanse your system,
a balanced diet isn't likely to.

TAKE PLENTY OF STIMULANTS.
The old standards of caffeine, nicotine, sugar,
and cola will continue to do the job just fine.

GAIN WEIGHT.
Work hard at staying at least 25 pounds over your recommended weight.

AVOID "WOO-WOO" PRACTICES.
Ignore the evidence suggesting that meditation, yoga, deep breathing, and/or mental imaging help to reduce stress. Be a man!
That goes for women too.

GET RID OF YOUR SOCIAL SUPPORT SYSTEM.
Let the few friends who are willing to tolerate you know that you concern yourself with friendships only if you have time, and you never have time. If a few people persist in trying to be your friend, avoid them.

PERSONALIZE ALL CRITICISM.
Anyone who criticizes any aspect of your work, family, dog, house, or car is mounting a personal attack. Don't take time to listen, be offended, then return the attack!

MALES AND FEMALES ALIKE - BE MACHO.
Never ever ask for help, and if you want it done right, do it yourself!

BECOME A WORKAHOLIC.
Put work before everything else, and be sure to take work home evenings and weekends. Keep reminding yourself that vacations are for sissies.

DISCARD GOOD TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS.
Schedule in more activities every day than you can possibly get done and then worry about it all whenever you get a chance.

PROCRASTINATE.
Putting things off to the last second always produces a
marvelous amount of stress.

WORRY ABOUT THINGS YOU CAN'T CONTROL.
Worry about the stock market, earthquakes, the approaching Ice Age, you know, all the big issues.

THROW OUT YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR.
Staying stressed is no laughing matter, and it shouldn't be treated as one.

I think I'll try them all, I LOVE shock value!

A few I have done before, 1,4,11,17,18 and 41 (more than once in most cases) I used to do #4 all the time to piss people off, not just in the elevator with Small World but I would sit and think of a REALLY annoying theme song, kids dong, or commercial jingle to sing once or twice at work in the morning. It got so other people would work hard to try and get a stupid song stuck in my head too, but I could usually throw one back at them and get them going all over again. I would fix my own loopy song in the head by just cranking some music in my office for a while.

The one that I always liked was Pebbles and Bam Bam singing, "Let the sun Shine in, open up your heart, open up you rheart and let the sun shine in."
Nobody knows the song but everyone recognizes the tune. Those are the best, when people know one or two lines and they loop it all day trying to get the rest of it. But Small World is a great one, I don't know anyone who's been to Disneyland and survived the next week without that song in their head!

Some of the others I have yet to try, but many I will! THX!

by montgomery gator

If there are 3 or more people on the elevator, and if you can keep a straight face, try the the SBD (Silent But Deadly) attack if you are skilled at that sort of thing.

The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about an urgent problem with one of the main computers. He dialed the employees home phone number and was greeted with a child's whispered, "Hello?"

Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to talk to a youngster the boss asked, "Is your Daddy home?"

"Yes", whispered the small voice.

"May I talk with him?" the man asked. To the surprise of the boss, the small voice whispered, "No."

Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your Mommy there?"

"Yes", came the answer.

"May I talk with her?" Again the small voice whispered, "no".

Knowing that it was not likely that a young child would be left home alone, the boss decided he would just leave a message with the person who should be there watching over the child. "Is there any one there besides you?" the boss asked the child.

"Yes" whispered the child, "A policeman".

Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, "May I speak with the policeman"?

"No, he's busy", whispered the child.

"Busy doing what?, asked the boss.

"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman", came the whispered answer.

Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the ear piece on the phone the boss asked, "What is that noise?"

"A hello-copper", answered the whispering voice. "What is going on there?", asked the boss, now alarmed. In an awed whispering voice the child answered, "The search team just landed the hello-copper"

Alarmed,concerned and more than just a little frustrated the boss asked, "Why are they there"?

Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffled giggle:

"They're looking for me"

Happy Fathers day!

by jessie

When I was 2, my Dad was home on leave from the Navy and was watching my brother and I while Mom was at work. He decided we all needed a nap (he didn't know I never took them) and so we all laid down and he and my older brother went to sleep.

He woke up to find that I was not asleep, and after spending several minutes searching the house, to no avail, called out the front door, "Jessica, where ARE you?!?!"

"I'm on the froof Daddy!" and sure enough, there I sat, on the edge of the roof at 2 years old, legs happily swinging over the side. A rose trellis makes a great ladder for a toddler!

by jdclyde

I worked second shift, the wife worked first, but not everyday. She would wake me when she left on the days she worked. I got out around 3 am. (some second, huh?)

The boys came into the bedroom at 8 am, each with a popcicle and said, "Dad, popsicles"! (they were 3)

I looked at them, and then decided it is summer and if your mom said it was alright, rolled over and went back to sleep.

A little while later, "dad, popsicles". Again? Well, who am I to question your mom.

A third time, "dad, popcicles". This just wasn't like her to be that nice to ANYONE.

I went into the other room, no wife.

Looked around and they had made a tower of a chair, my lunch box, and a booser seat and had eaten a whole box of popcicles for breakfast.

Oops!

While camping with a friend and her two twin sons (6 or 7), they were off playing by the dock while I was cooking dinner. One of the boys came back and said hey lookthere's blood on my hand.

So I quickly wiped it clean and there was no cut. I asked where it was from and he laughed, "just fooling, I'm not really bleeding". Figuring it was a smudge of ketchup or berries from the bushes I ignored it and started cooking again.

3 minutes later he came running up, completely out of breath, 'look there's blood on my hand!' I told him to stop playing around and again wiped it off before returning to the cooking.

Then his brother came in crying and whining, I'm BLEEEDING!!! So I looked at him, VERY frustrated, and went to wipe the blood of his forehead when I realized his head was split open (not really enough for stitches but quite a gash!).

They had been fighting over the boats, as always (I I WANNA DRIVE!), and one smacked the other in the face with an oar and split his head open.

The first kept smearing some blood from his brother's head onto his hand and had ran all the way back to me each time, before his sobbing brother had finally made it back to me.

Damn kids, they are 15 now and STILL beat the living hell out of each other, while absolutely adoring each other too....somehow!

by jdclyde

Beat each other senceless, but don't YOU dare mess with my brother! Nobody beats on him but me!

Really is funny to watch.

Note, two twins is four kids. I actually know a family with two sets of twin boys. Started a top 40 band called double vision. all covers, like backdoor boys and terrible crap like that. Weren't in it for the fame and glory, just knew what atracted the babes. I let them slide on the whimpy music when I learned the reasoning.

by jessie

My brother and I did that growing up, beat the crap out of each other on a regular basis, but he was still my brother and I'm the ONLY one who gets to turn the plastic cover on the stairs upside down and then scream for help, so he comes RUNNING down the stairs at full gallop in his sock feet and the little poky plastic spikes that keep the plastic on the carpet MURDER his feet, and we're 2.5 years apart. It's probably worse for twins though, since twins typically share a room and all that... closeness.

2) "Do you always fart like that when someone shoves it in?"
3) "How come it's so BIG in there?"

5) "Next time I come over, don't bother with the underwear,...OK?"
6) (Sniff, sniff) "Is that CAT food?"
7) (Yelling) "OK guys, it's a wrap, cut, and print it!!"
8) "You are great in bed, but your sister gives better head!"
9) "My first wife was prettier, but you can screw a lot better."
10) "Do you know what a 'douche' is?"
11) "Maybe if you did some pushups, your boobs would grow."
12) "I want you to try some of MY deodorant."
13) "I'm not into relationships. Can't we just screw, like every Tuesday night or something?"
14) "Maybe if you lost some weight, I could get it all the way in!"
15) "I never saw a girl with hairy tits before!"
16) "I've been getting these little blisters lately...."
17) "You wanna do those dishes before you leave?"
18) "You should go wash that, the cabbie will think something DIED in there!"

13 does work sometimes.

Sure you get thumped once in a while, or told to FO, but it's worth it when it works out. :)

I haven't done 17 but I have jumped out of bed and headed for the door, while on the way out saying, "do you want a beer?, NO?"

So I took the case of cold, untouched beer we brought home the night before. :D

Believe me, I needed it at that point!

A lawyer who works in Seattle gets a call about an emergency which requires him to immediately fly out of the state for a short period of time. He has no time to pack, so he calls home to tell his wife he is going. The maid answers the call, but is quite hesitant about putting his wife on the phone.

After quite a bit of interrogation, she admits that the wife is upstairs in bed with the mailman! The lawyer is furious, and wants to rush right home, but of course there is the emergency of which he must take care.

So, he tells the maid to go and get the gun from the desk drawer and kill both his wife and the mailman.

She protests! The lawyer explains that under Washington State law it is legal to kill your adulterous wife and her lover. Using his silver tongue, he finally convinces her to do it.

She puts down the phone, and soon the lawyer hears a scream, the sound of two gun shots, some loud thumps and finally, two splashes.

The maid comes back to the phone. The lawyer asks, "Did you kill them?"

"Yes," she replies.

The lawyer questions her again, "What did you do with the bodies?"

"I threw them in the pool," she responds.

There is a brief pause from the lawyer. He asks her, "Did you say the POOL?"

"Yes! I threw them in the pool!" she says.

"Uh, is this 555-8234?"

In a recent Harris On-line poll 38,562 men across the US were asked to identify woman's ultimate fantasy. 97.8% of the respondents said that a woman's ultimate fantasy is to have two men at once.

While this has been verified by a recent sociological study, it appears that most men do not realize that in this fantasy, one man is cooking and the other is cleaning.

Or to use household appliances "She Who Must Be Obeyed" must be missing out badly. :)

When we where first married I dropped a few plates and broke them ever since I've never been allowed in the kitchen to do anything. Well there was a brief period of time for about 3 days when "She Who Must Be Obeyed" was away at work and the kids complained to her that I would only heat up some pies for them and then feed them chocolate so that very quickly came to an end as well I'm not even allowed to go shopping with her either. Life is so hard. :D

At my grandmothers house for Easter, my aunt comes into the living room where we are all watching TV and asks if either my cousin Crystal or myself wants a cookbook. Crystal says "Oh! I'd love a cookbook!" then to me she says, "you don't mind if I have it do you?" I looked at the poor girl and said, "It's all yours. One day I hope to find a man who'll do all the cooking for me."
In my family women are supposed to do everythign for the men folk, so I'm looked at as a bit odd when I'm hanging out drinking with the men folk and they are all in the kitchen cooking or watching all the kids. HA HA! It pays to be different.

I am the runt of a brother and sister 8&9 years my senior, yeah a late bloomer, accident whatever you want to call it. (not a mistake, be nice!)

I have been subject to some of the most cunning and clever 'burns' there are.

Even now, I am scared to visit my brother with a date in tow, you never know what he's got up his sleeve to render you feeling so tiny that you crawl under the door to run away.

Sure we've got that sibling bond, sorta, but we sure like making each other look stupid. Now that I'm older I can help my brother gang up on my sister during family get togethers, it's finally coming full circle. I can't wait 'til my brother is old and starts peeing his pants again!

by jdclyde

Here I thought I was the ONLY ONE that flipped the mat upside down!!

But mine was one step better than yours. Mine was put at the foot of the steps, and my brother was known for jumping from one landing to the next. So skipping 8 steps and landing on the spikes.

Women complain men don't do anything. Well it's not MY fault they are a woman and feels compelled to constantly GET STUFF DONE, while we watch the game or have a beer (as if that's not getting stuff done!)

If you were born as a woman, hey...them's the brakes, either grow one of your own or get an operation, so YOU TOO will be completely happy to do f-all.

Don't complain to me that you were born the wrong sex and I got lucky, do something about it or go do the dishes, which ever floats your boat, just leave me out of it. :)

She's been known to throw my dinner in my lap. :D

She insists that I'm not allowed in the kitchen and then after 3 failed Carpel Tunnel operations she has been known to just drop things as she looses the control of the muscles in her hand so I've worn my fair share of meals. :)

But the best one happened last week she made herself a coffee and was walking out of the kitchen when the handle broke and there she was standing with half a handle in her hand and the remainder on the floor the mug didn't even break but the look on her face was priceless. :D

She does bring me my Ugg Boots though and insists that I wear the silly things as I have a spinal injury I can not feel my feet so I don't know if they are cold or not so instead of allowing me into the bed and then finding out that I have ice cold feet she has worked out that it is easier for her to make me wear the bloody things. But they do have one advantage when I'm wearing them I can kick things and not remove skin and start bleeding all over the place generally speaking unless it is a hard hit I just don't feel it and don't notice all the blood flowing. I do offer to clean the mess up when I'm told but she seems to think that I'll make more of a mess than what it is that I clean up so I'm not allowed to do that either. :)

I'm still in the process of training her to behave properly and do as I want. I've long since given up on telling her what to do and just live with what I'm given but I'm trying to be nice and considerate and when ever I act this way her first reaction is "What Have You Done Wrong Now!" :(

But she insists on making me fill her car with petrol and whatever else it needs and she steals my car whenever she feels like it particularly if she knows that I want to take one particular car to something you can practically guarantee that it will just not be there no matter how many cars she has to move to get it out. So when I eventually finish off the VW I think I'll say don't touch the Beetle will you dear I need to take it down to such and such to do something. She'll of course take it and hopefully move the 4 Mercedes Motors that are behind it for me. :)

A man walks into the street and manages to get a taxi just going by.
He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Moishe."

Passenger: "Who?"

Cabbie: "Moishe Glickman. There's a guy who did everything right.
Like my coming along when you needed a cab. It would have happened like that to Moishe every single time."

Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody."

Cabbie: "Not Moishe. He was a terrific athlete. He could have gone on the pro tour in tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano."

Passenger: "Sounds like he was something, huh?"

Cabbie: "He had a memory like a computer. Could remember everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole neighborhood blacks out."

Passenger. "Wow, some guy eh?

Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams, not like me, I always seem to get into them"

Passenger: Mmm, not many like that around"

Cabbie: "And he knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good and never answered her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too."

Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?"

Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met Moishe."

Passenger: "Then how do you know so much about him?"

Cabbie: "I married his widow".

nowadays...the number of women who can't cook anything other than Mac and Cheese or microwave dinners.

I can cook better than most of the women I know...I just won't cook that way unless I have company...when it's just me alone, some soup or popcorn or beef jerky is adequate.

by itgirli

Mac & cheese and microwave dinners. Actually I will happily cook seafood and potatoes, but rarely anything else. I sometimes make pies, but SaraLee is easier to just throw in the oven.

by jessie

I just Can't Do! As a matter of fact, the Army recently requested my pie crust recipe...

... to cover their tanks.

I can cook pretty much anything else, a pot roast you can cut with a plastic fork, mashed potatoes and gravy that'll melt in your mouth, cheesy kohlrabi... I love to bake... just can't do that whole pie-crust thing... I miss my Grandma, she made the BEST pies.

Ten signs you're working to hard ...

You're so tired you now answer the phone "hell"

You're best friend calls to ask how you've been and you immediately scream" get off by back, BITCH"

Your garbage can is you're "in" box

You wake up to discover that your bed is on fire, but go back to sleep because you just don't care

You have so much on you're mind that you've forgotten how to pee

Visions of the upcoming weekend help you make it through Monday

You sleep more at work than you do at home

You leave for a party and instinctively bring you're briefcase

Your palm pilot exploded a week ago

You think about how relaxing it would be if you were in jail right now ...

It was a sweltering August day when the Cohen brothers entered the posh Dearborn, Michigan, offices of Henry Ford, the car maker, "Mr. Ford," announced Norman Cohen, the eldest of the three. "We have a remarkable invention that will revolutionize the automobile industry."

Ford looked skeptical, but their threat to offer it to the competition kept his interest piqued. "We would like to demonstrate it to you in person."

After a little cajoling, they brought Mr. Ford outside and asked him to enter a black automobile parked in front of the building. Hyman Cohen, the middle brother, opened the door of the car. "Please step inside, Mr. Ford."

"What!" shouted the tycoon, "Are you crazy? It must be two hundred degrees in that car!" "It is," smiled the youngest brother, Max, "but sit down Mr. Ford, and push the white button."

Intrigued, Ford pushed the button. All of a sudden a whoosh of freezing air started blowing from vents all around the car, and within seconds the automobile was not only comfortable, it was quite cool.

"This is amazing!" exclaimed Ford. "How much do you want for the patent?"

Norman spoke up, "The price is one million dollars." Then he paused.

And there is something else. The name 'Cohen Brothers Air-conditioning must be stamped right next to the Ford logo!"

Ford who was a renowned anti-semetitc said,
"Money is no problem," retorted Ford, "but no way will I have a Jewish name next to my logo on my cars!'

They haggled back and forth for a while and finally they settled. Five million dollars, but the Cohens' lastname would be left off. However, the first names of the Cohen brothers would be forever emblazoned upon the console of every Ford air conditioning system.

And that is why, even today, whenever you enter a Ford vehicle, you will see those three names clearly printed on the air conditioning control panel: Norm, Hi and Max

left it on the kitchen table and when I came back from the bathroom, someone had taken a bite out of it.
Dispatcher: Was anything else taken?
Caller: No, but this has happened to me before
and I'm sick and tired of it.

Dispatcher: 9-1-1 What is your emergency?
Caller: Hi, is this the Police?
Dispatcher: This is 9-1-1. Do you need police
assistance?
Caller: Well, I don't know who to call. Can you
tell me how to cook a turkey? I've never cooked one before.

Dispatcher: 9-1-1 Fire or emergency?
Caller: Fire, I guess.
Dispatcher: How can I help you sir?
Caller: I was wondering.....does the Fire Dept.
put snow chains on their trucks?
Dispatcher: Yes sir, do you have an emergency?
Caller: Well, I've spent the last 4 hours trying
to put these chains on my tires and... well.. do you think the Fire Dept. could come over and help me?
Dispatcher: Help you what?
Caller: Help me get these chains on my car!

Dispatcher: 9-1-1 What is the nature of your
emergency?
Caller: I'm trying to reach nine eleven but my
phone doesn't have an eleven on it.
Dispatcher: This is nine eleven.
Caller: I thought you just said it was nine-one-one.
Dispatcher: Yes, ma'am nine-one-one and
nine-eleven are the same thing.
Caller: Honey, I may be old, but I'm not
stupid.

Dispatcher: 9-1-1 What's the nature of your
emergency?
Caller: My wife is pregnant and her contractions
are only two minutes apart.
Dispatcher: Is this her first child?
Caller: No, you idiot! This is her husband!

And the winner is..........
Dispatcher: 9-1-1
Caller: Yeah, I'm having trouble breathing.
I'm all out of breath. Darn....I think I'm going to pass out.
Dispatcher: Sir, where are you calling from?
Caller: I'm at a pay phone. North and Foster.
Damn......
Dispatcher: Sir, an ambulance is on the way.
Are you an asthmatic?
Caller: No
Dispatcher: What were you doing before you
started having trouble breathing?
Caller: Running from the Police.

I like my pies like this...

1) They can't be too hot, or they'll burn you for sure.

2) They gotta be cool, have good taste, and not mind whip cream on them.

3) They gotta be a little nutty.

Then, I can eat em all night long ]:)

And as for cherry pies...if a pie has no cherry, it doesn't bother me...cherry-less is as good as cherry :)

(is that implicative enough yet?) ]:)

And maybe shouldn't be read right after the other three. eww.

As for posts NOT going together, MAYBE, jUST MAYBE SOMEONE was replying to the post from Jess instead of wallowing in the depraved depths with the other.

Besides, they got off on this about Jess finishing talking about her GRANDMA having the best pie! I guess if that gets JCK and Dawg going, to each their own.......

I wish you were the one in my friend's situation instead of her.

Have a nice day, soith

The 16 Reasons a Modem is Better Than a Woman

1. A modem doesn't ask for a commitment if you use it.

2. Getting a modem to obey you is as simple as typing "AT".

3. When you're done using your modem, you can roll over and go to sleep without feeling guilty.

4. A modem won't say a word if you come home late.

5. A modem can't collect alimony if you decide to dump it.

6. A modem will always wait patiently by the phone.

7. A modem doesn't bitch if you sit and play with the computer all night long.

8. You can always get a few bucks for an old modem when a faster model comes out.

9. A modem is flat on top - hence your beer won't fall over.

10. A modem doesn't mind if you call another modem.

11. A modem doesn't require any foreplay - just an initialization command.

12. A virus you catch from your modem doesn't require a trip to the doctor.

14. If an error occurs, Abort, Retry or Fail are the only options you have to worry about.

15. Modems come with an instruction manual.
