Anything for a laugh

A good laugh does the body and soul good! Some of the best laughs that I ever had were ones where I was the only one in on the joke. Here are 10 suggestions that always seem to work, best done not in your home town.

1. Go to any international airport and randomly greet people that look like nobody is going to come and meet them. A full fledge run with your arms out accompanied by high pitched scream is recommended.

2. Pick up people that are hitch-hiking with a slight twist. As soon as they get in the car stall it at least once. Have a hard time starting it again, accidentally turning on the wipers and hazard lights. Appear loose in your limbs and randomly moan out deep words that are not of any particular language. If coast is clear slowly veer into opposite lane. People seem to love this!

3. Run down to the garbage men as they haul away your bins. Give them a tip and tell them what a great job they are doing. Best if done at 4:00 in the morning!

4. While shopping randomly stick things in other people's carts.

5. In a crowded area outside: Stop! Look up! Through your hands in the air in a flapping motion and scream as loud as you can "nooooooooooooooooooooooo" People really enjoy this one too.

6. Wait by the door quietly... and when you hear it fall, run and throw the daily paper back at him. Best if you score a direct hit and dive behind some shrubs so he doesn't know where it came from.

7. Find the thermostat of a large business and change it from A/C to Heat or vice versa.

8. Travel to a minyan where you don't know anyone! Blurt out "Amen" at all the wrong times! The fellow daveners seem to enjoy this tremendously.

9. If you have a mean landlord or boss, give him a nice little gift underneath the latch of the door handle of his car. When he comes to open his door he will get a big surprise. A month old cottage cheese works well.

10. Go to the tallest building you can find. Wait to board the elevator until it's filled to the rim. Proceed to push every button for every floor. Wait for the first reactions and comments!

O.K. maybe I'm a little sick! No serious harm done to anyone here except maybe your own reputation. I feel its worth it, a good laugh carries you a long long way!
