Fun Things To Do In An Elevator


Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering:
"Shut up, dammit, all of you just shut UP!"

Whistle the first seven notes of "It`s a Small World" incessantly.

Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside ask:
"Got enough air in there?"

Offer name tags to everyone getting on the elevator. Wear yours
upside-down.

Stand silent and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without
getting off.

When arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open,
then act embarrassed when they open by themselves.

Greet everyone getting on the elevator with a warm
handshake and ask them to call you Admiral.

On the highest floor, hold the door open and demand that it stay open
until you hear the penny you dropped down the shaft go "plink" at the
bottom.

Stare, grinning, at another passenger for a while, and then announce:
"I`ve got new socks on!"

Meow occasionally.

Bet the other passengers you can fit a quarter in your nose.

Walk on with a cooler that says "human head" on the side.

Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce "You`re one of
THEM!" and move to the far corner of the elevator.

Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.

When the elevator is silent, look around and ask "is that your beeper?"

Say "Ding!" at each floor.

Say "I wonder what all these do" and pu***he red buttons.

Listen to the elevator walls with a stethoscope.

Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other
passengers that this is your "personal space."

Announce in a demonic voice: "I must find a more suitable host body."

Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

Wear "X-Ray Specs" and leer suggestively at other passengers.

Well if we're going to answer the unanswerable questions, I'll bite on the end of the rainbow one. the answer is there is no pot of gold at the end because there is no end to a rainbow. When viewed from the side in the air, a rainbow is a circle. It just looks like an arch from the ground because the horizon blocks our view of the bottom half.

Since no one has attempted to answer your question I will. [:)]

You can only go half way into the woods.

Now I am going to stop there and give someone else a chance to finish it. Let's see how long it takes given that info. [}:)] [;)]


After you go halfway INTO the woods, you're working on going halfway OUT of the woods.

I finally read that joke about Alaska on page 31. Funny[(-D][(-D]
But some part of it is true also. If you live in small town, the nearest neighbor can be 50 miles away, nearest hospital hundreds or even thousands away, and you might have to fly to Anchorage for your shopping, because food cost 3 or 4 times more near you. That is life in 49th state.

The book appeared. It said "Great-uncle George

If you have a joke or short story that you would like to see posted but don't want to post it yourself you are welcome to send it to me. Some already have. I will give you credit if you want me to, or keep it a secret between us. [}:)]

I only ask that whatever it is not violate the forum's standards of conduct and good taste. I like humor, but we must be civil about it. [:)]

Time for . . . . . Saturday's Silly Season [:D]


Have you ever wondered about . . . . . . .

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I
think I'll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and
drink whatever comes out?"

Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken
there... I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta
it's bum."

Why do toasters always have a setting so high that
could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no
decent human being would eat?

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the
freezer?

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a
song about him?

Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the car pool
lane?

If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio
out of coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the
time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where
the bathroom is?

Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all
fours? They're both dogs!

What do you call male ballerinas?

If Wile E. Coyote from the Road Runner had enough
money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just
buy dinner?

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is
made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality
come from morons?

Is Disney World the only people trap operated by a
mouse?

Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little
Star have the same tune?

Stop singing and read on . . .

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet
Soup?

Does pushing the elevator button more than once make
it arrive faster?

At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter. When all eyes stared at him, he said, "I'm sorry! I was just thinking of my own funeral. I'm a gynecologist!"

Since I desire to see the sun rise today, today's humor is dedicated to NOONE, but everyone is allowed to read it and laugh. [:p]



An old lady came into her doctor's office and
confessed to an embarrassing problem: "I pass gas all
the time, Doctor Johnson, but it's soundless, and
without odor. In fact, since I've been here, I've
passed gas no less than twenty times. What can I do?"

"Here's a prescription, Mrs. Barker. Take these pills
three times a day for seven days and come back and see
me in a week."

The next week, an upset Mrs. Barker marched into Dr.
Johnson's office: "Doc, I don't know what was in those
pills, but the problem is worse! I'm passing gas just
as much, and they're still soundless, but now
they smell terrible! What do you have to say for
yourself?"

"Calm down, Mrs. Barker," said the doctor soothingly.
"Now that we've fixed your sinuses, we'll work on your
hearing."






That was a good one. I sent that one off to my friends!!
