Ways to Maintain A Healthy Level Of Insanity.
Published by Vijay January 27th, 2008 in Blogging, Humour, Other BloggersMy blog bears that desolate and uncared for look. Again!
I’ve been too busy at work to do any kind of writing. I can just barely keep up with reading a few of the many interesting blogs that I follow in between turns at Scrabulous games on facebook and occasional peeks into Pownce & twitter.
Many thanks to Moof [I've linked to her blog, but it wears a more forlorn look than mine] for forwarding this great email to me and providing me with much needed laughter at the end of a busy Sunday at work.
Without further ado, here are the…
[with some personal commentary]
At Lunch Time, Sit In Your Parked Car With Sunglasses on and point a Hair Dryer At Passing Cars. See If They Slow Down. [and hope that the cops who come riding by don't shoot first mistaking the hair dryer to be a gun]
Page Yourself Over The Intercom. Don’t Disguise Your Voice.
Every Time Someone Asks You To Do Something, Ask If They Want Fries with that.
Put Your Garbage Can On Your Desk And Label It “In.” [I'd love to do that to x-rays & CT scans]
Put Decaf In The Coffee Maker For 3 Weeks Once Everyone has Gotten Over Their Caffeine Addictions, Switch to Espresso.
In The Memo Field Of All Your Checks, Write ” For Smuggling Diamonds”
Finish All Your sentences with “In Accordance With The Prophecy.”
Don’t use any punctuation [bongi already follows the "don't use capital letters" policy]
As Often As Possible, Skip Rather Than Walk.
Order a Diet Water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.
Specify That Your Drive-through Order Is “To Go.”
Sing Along At The Opera. [or at the kutcheri if you are in Chennai in December]
Go To A Poetry Recital And Ask Why The Poems Don’t Rhyme?
Put Mosquito Netting Around Your Work Area And Play tropical Sounds All Day. [I don't think this applies to us here in India - the mosquitoes will probably time their bites to the music]
Five Days In Advance, Tell Your Friends You Can’t Attend Their Party Because You’re Not In The Mood.
Have Your Co-workers Address You By Your Wrestling Name, Rock Bottom.
When The Money Comes Out The ATM, Scream “I Won!, I Won!”
When Leaving The Zoo, Start Running Towards The Parking lot, Yelling
“Run For Your Lives, They’re Loose!!”
Tell Your Children Over Dinner. “Due To The Economy, We Are Going To Have To Let One Of You Go.”
And The Final Way To Keep A Healthy Level Of Insanity…….
Send This E-mail To Someone To Make Them Smile.
Its Called ……. therapy
I did better. I posted it in my blog for the benefit of my fans who probably number in the thousands (it could be the tens or hundreds of thousands or even millions, but I’m too modest).

Vijay! You’re a riot! Thanks for this. I needed it too!
Yes, the blogs are indeed forlorn looking. I’ve just spent the last 4 weeks in two courses that require so much writing that my new keyboard is already developing shiny spots on some of the keys.
Hopefully - this too shall pass. *blink
Ha Ha … that was good laugh.
I am seriously going to try some of them. Also, forwarding it to my people.
And you are being veryyyyy modest here. Not joking.
Thanks Vijay for the laughs.
Hey Vijay,
All work and no play is not nice. Still a good laugh helps. Keep on keeping on.

*grins*!!!!!
I see you are reading “Phantoms in the Brain”. It made me think of Oliver Sacks and his books; I went and looked at the link you provided and I see Sacks wrote the foreward.
I’m wondering if this book is a good read ?
The book is a great read msw. I’ve learnt a lot of new and interesting stuff from it. I strongly recommend that you read it.
I haven’t read any of Oliver Sacks’ books. Planning to acquire one of his books. Suggestions are welcome about which one to buy
