I have recently learned that the following is thought to be a hoax. Nonetheless, it's just
too perfect to resist.
In 1555, Nostradamus wrote:Cuz' Ellyn writes:

HOW TO KEEP A HEALTHY LEVEL OF INSANITY
1) At lunch time, sit in your parked car w/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) Insist that your e mail address is:
Xena-Warrior-Princess@westworld.com
Elvis-the-King@westworld.com
4) Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
5) Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "IN."
6) Develop an unnatural fear of staplers.
7) Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
8) In the memo field of all your checks, write "FOR SEXUAL FAVORS."
9) Finish all your sentences with "In accordance with the prophecy."
10) Dont use any punctuation
11) As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
12) Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer.
13) Specify that your drive-through order is "to go."
14) Sing along at the opera.
15) Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.
16) Put mosquito netting around your cubicle. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day.
17) Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood.
19) When the money comes out of the ATM, scream "I Won!", "I Won!" "3rd time this week!!!"
20) When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling "Run for your lives, they're loose!"
21) Tell your children over dinner. "Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."
Folks, I'm sure some of you feel I've already crossed the line of bad taste on a Web site dedicated to peace and social justice, with all the Bush-bashing. It's just that it all rings so true. So please allow me just one more. I, Daniel B. Zwickel, take full responsibility for my postings. If you feel compelled to fire me, I'll understand.
