THINGS TO DO IN AN ELEVATOR
1) When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.
2) Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.
3) Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.
4) Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor you're on.
5) Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.
6) Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on ask them if they hear something ticking.
7) Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers.
8) Ask, "Did you feel that?"
9) Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.
10) When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's okay. Don't panic, they open up again."
11) Swat at flies that don't exist.
12) Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, Got enough air in there?"
13) Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.
14) Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.
15) Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, and then announce, "I have new socks on."

Sometimes we just need to remember what the 12 Rules of Life really are...
1. Never give yourself a haircut after three margaritas.
2. You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.
3.The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship are "I apologize" and "you are right."
4. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
5. Never pass up an opportunity to pee.
6. If he/she says that you are too good for him/her - believe them.
7. Learn to pick your battles: ask yourself, Will this matter one year from now? How about one month? One week? One day?"
8. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.
9. If you woke up breathing, congratulations!  You have another chance!
10. Living well really is the best revenge. Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just might mean that the other person was right about you.
11.Work is good, but it's not that important.  Money is nice, but you can't take it with you. Statistics show most people don't live to spend all they saved; some die even before they retire.
12. And finally...  Be really good to your family and/or friends. You never know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan.
