Channel your silliness

Because it's a Saturday and the day after St. Patrick's Day (I don't know what that means, but it sounds good) I thought it would be okay to be a little silly today. I was reading "A Whack on the Side of the Head" and one of the tips for spurring creativity is to "Try using humor to put you or your group in a creative state of mind", so here goes...

XIII ways to annoy people and amuse yourself

I. Speak only in a robot voice
II. Fill out all forms using Roman numerals.
III. Mail a large letter using one cent stamps.
IV. Specify that your drive-thru order is "to go"
V. Signal that a conversation is over by clamping your hands over your ears.
VI. Highlight irrelevant information in scientific papers and copy them to your boss.
VII. Stare at people through the tines of your fork and pretend that they are in jail.
VIII. Give a play-by-play account of a person's every action in a nasal Howard Cossell voice.
IX. Learn Morse code and have conversations with friends in public consisting entirely of "Beeeeep, Bip, Bip, Beeeep"
X. Follow a few paces behind someone and spray everything they touch with Lysol.
XI. Pay your electric bill in pennies.
XII. Practice making fax and modem noises in public.
XIII. Go to the Dollar Store and keep asking how much things cost.

Have any to add to the list?
