20 ways to maintain a healthy level of insanity.

1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.

2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.

3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.


4. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "in."

5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.

6. In the memo field of all your checks, write "for smuggling diamonds"

7. Finish all your sentences with "in accordance with the prophecy."

8. Don't use any punctuation

9. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.

10. Order a diet water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.

11. Specify that your drive-through order is "to go."

12. Sing along at the opera.

13. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme

14. Put mosquito netting around your work area and play tropical sounds all day.

15. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood.

16. Have your co-workers address you by your wrestling name, rock bottom.

17. When the money comes out the atm, scream "i won!, I won!"

18. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling "run for your lives, they're loose!!"

19. Tell your children over dinner. "due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."

20. And the final way to keep a healthy level of insanity.......

How to handle a bad day!

When you occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take it out on someone, don't take it out on someone you know, take it out on someone you don't know.

Years ago, I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call i'd forgotten to make. I found the number and dialed it. A man answered, saying "hello."

i politely said, "this is chris. Could I please speak with robyn carter?"

suddenly a manic voice yelled out in my ear "get the right f***ing number!" and the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude. When I tracked down robyn's correct number to call her, I found that I had accidentally transposed the last two digits.

After hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again.

When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled "you're an problem!" and hung up. I wrote his number down with the word 'problem' next to it, and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, i'd call him up and yell, "you're an problem!" it always cheered me up.

When caller id was introduced in virginia , I thought my therapeutic 'problem' calling would have to stop. So, I called his number and said, "hi, this is john smith from bell atlantic. I'm calling to see if you're familiar with our new caller id program?"

he yelled "no!" and slammed down the phone. I quickly called him back and said, "that's because you're an problem!" and hung up.

One day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into a parking spot. Some guy in a black bmw cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that i'd been waiting for that spot, but the fool ignored me. I noticed a "for sale" sign in his back win dow, so I wrote down his number.

A couple of days later, right after calling the first problem (i had his number on speed dial,) I thought that i'd better call the bmw problem, too.

I said, "is this the man with the black bmw for sale?"

he said, "yes, it is." I asked, "can you tell me where I can see it?" he said, "yes, I live at 34 oaktree blvd , in fairfax . The car's parked right out in front."

i asked, "what's your name?"

he said, "my name is don hansen,"

i asked, "when's a good time to catch you, don?"

he said, "i'm home every evening after five."

i said, "listen, don, can I tell you something?"

he said, "yes?"

i said, "don, you're an problem!"

then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too. Now, when I had a problem, I had two suckers to call.

Then I came up with an idea. I called problem #1.
He said, "hello."

i said, "you're an problem!" (but I didn't hang up.)
he asked, "are you still there?"
i said, "yeah,"

he screamed, "stop calling me,"
i said, "make me,"
he asked, "who are you?"
i said, "my name is don hansen."

he said, "yeah? Where do you live?"

i said, "problem, I live at 34 oaktree blvd , in fairfax . I have a black beamer parked in front."

he said, "i'm coming over right now, don. And you had better start saying your prayers."
i said, "yeah, like i'm really scared, problem," and hung up.

Then I called problem #2.

He said, "hello?"
i said, "hello, problem,"

he yelled, "if I ever find out who you are..."
i said, "you'll what?"
he exclaimed, "i'll kick your ass,"
i answered, "well, problem, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now."

then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I lived at
34 oaktree blvd , in fairfax , and that I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover.

Then I called channel 9 news about the gang war going down in oaktree blvd. In fairfax .

I quickly got into my car and headed over to fairfax I got there just in time to watch two suckers beating the crap out of each other in front
of six cop cars, an overhead news helicopter and surrounded by a news crew.

Now I feel much better......

Anger management really does work...
