- At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
- Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
- Put your rubbish bin on your desk and label it “in”.
- Don’t use any punctuation.
- Order a Diet Water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.
- Go to a poetry recital, and ask why the poems don’t rhyme?
- Five days in advance, tell your friends you can’t attend their party because you’re not in the mood.
- When the money comes out the ATM, scream “I won! I won!”
- When Leaving the Zoo, Start Running towards the Exit, yelling “Run for your lives! They’re loose!”
- Tell your children over dinner, “due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go.”
I L-I-K-E these ideas, GM
I suppose that confirms I’m already insane 😀
Though I’ve never seen Diet Water with a serious face 😆
Steph
There is really no hope for you! 🙄
ha – must try some of these. i remember a few years ago a friend asked for a large cock on mcdonalds with a straight face. i couldn’t keep a straight face at all.
Diet Water? Great idea. But Diet Lettuce is more nutritious. You’re looking very reflective in the Irish Times piece, Grannymar. Were you mentally fine-tuning your next post?
Ha – brilliant. Although, I have actually done four of them. Does that make me 40% insane? 🙂
Those people who buy a diet water with the family sized pizza (for 1) are a bit mental…
I already do #7 from time to time.
I am so doing #3 on Monday morning!
Love the pic of you in the Times! You look like you’re scouting for toyboys.
Lovely pic of you and lovely feature on you all in the Times today
@Phil – Should you say things like that to GM 🙄
@Nick – I was drinking diet water and looking for Toyboys! 😀
@Darren – I would have said 40% sane! Doyler told me to say that!
@Michael L – Welcome to the party. How is life in Tazmania?
@Lottie – I hope you wouldn’t do that to me? 😥
@Keiron – with a fluorescent marker!
@Annie – At least I am upright! 😉 I really look old surrounded by all you younglings.
@Lorna – Thank you!
In the group shot it looks like you actually have your eyes on one.
Primal
They wouldn’t let me get at him! 😥
im all for number four because it would have made my job easier i am a teacher and marking essays and compostions without having to bother with puntification would havebeen easy i would only have to worry about content and ideas
Number three is a shortened version of my filing system known as JPIT and WPB (Just put it there and Wastepaper basket).
Children in my class soon got used to If in Doubt Sling it Out
As soon as I get another furlough from the Home, I am doing all of these. Very funny ideas!
“Please, Grannymar, may I have some more?”

@Magpie – I like number four too.
@Sixty – I wouldn’t wait. Start now!
Saw you in the Irish Times today holding a glass of low cal water.
Welcome ganching.
Low cal water is just me… I wonder how the gin got in there? 🙄
brilliant!
Welcome galwaywegian!
Will you use them in school?
I think I do the opposite of #4 – I over punctuate…
Although at least I can blame the lack of automatic smilie parsing for that 🙂
