Funny what you can find in the bottom of a box

So we're in the process of moving. Step 1 was shred all papers that are too old and faded to keep. Step 2 was clean out the garage and get rid of moldy smelling items. Somewhere between Step 1 and 2 I came across a box in the garage that had a few little keepsakes that gave me a giggle so I saved them from the shredder. I figured I'd share...

One of them was 26 Things To Do in an Elevator. And no, I did not come up with these but my sick humor finds them hilarious.

1) Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.
2) Move your desk into the elevator and whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.
3) Lay down a Twister mat and ask people if they'd like to play.
4) Leave a box in a corner and when someone gets on, ask if they hear something ticking.
5) Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers.
6) Ask, "Did you feel that?"
7) Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.
8) When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's okay, don't panic. They'll open up again."
9) Swat at flies that don't exist.
10) Tell people that you can see their aura.
11) Call out, "Group Hug!" and enforce it.
12) Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, "Shut up. All of you. Just Shut Up!!"
13) Crack open your briefcase or purse and while peering inside, say "Got enough air in there?"
14) Stand silently and motionless in the corner facing the wall without getting off.
15) Stare at another passenger for awhile, then announce in horror, "You're one of THEM." and back away slowly.
16) Wear a puppet on your hand, and use it to talk to the other passengers.
17) Listen to the elevator walls with a stethoscope.
18) Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
19) Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.
20) Stare grinning at another passenger for awhile then announce, "I have new socks on!"
21) Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, "The is MY personal space!!"
22) When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and pretend it wasn't you.
23) Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock.
24) Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor you're on.
25) Hold the doors open and say that you're waiting for your friend. After awhile, let the doors close and and say, "Hi Greg, how's your day been?"
26) Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, and then scream "That's mine!"

I will not be held responsible if you choose to do any of the above. But I hope one day I can be brave enough to try just one!
