Silly things to do in an elevator

1. When there’s only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn’t you.
2. Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.
3. Ask if you can push the buttons for other people, but push the wrong ones.
4. Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor you’re on.
5. Hold the doors open and say you’re waiting for your friend. After awhile, let the doors close and say, “Hi Greg. How’s your day been?”
6. Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream, “That’s mine!”
7. Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.
8. Move your desk into the lift, and whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.
9. Lay down a Twister mat and ask people if they’d like to play.
10. Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on ask them if they hear something ticking.
11. Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exit with the passengers.
12. Ask, “Did you feel that?”
13. Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.
14. When the doors close, announce to the others, “It’s okay. Don’t panic, they open up again.”
15. Swat at flies that don’t exist.
16. Tell people that you can see their aura.
17. Call out, “Group hug!” then enforce it.
18. Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering “Shut up, all of you, just shut up!”
19. Crack open your briefcase or handbag, and while peering inside, ask, “Got enough air in there?”
20. Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.
21. Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, “You’re one of THEM!” and back away slowly.
22. Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.
23. Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.
24. Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
25. Grinning, stare at another passenger for a while, and then announce, “I have new socks on.”
26. Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, “This is my personal space.”

I asked my girlfriend to prom

I asked my girlfriend to prom a while ago. I really didn’t want to make a poster cuz it’s really cliche, so what I did was buy a “beanie ballz” of hello kitty which is basically a stuffed animal in the shape of a ball (ball-shaped hello kitty), a big purple inflatable ball, and three tennis balls. On the three tennis balls, I wrote instructions on where to meet me at what time and what to look for and 1/6-3/6 on the back and gave each to my girlfriend’s friends to give to her. On the big purple ball, I wrote “ROLL with me to PROM?” with 4/6 on the back and waited with the huge thing in my arms as people passing by gave me strange looks. When she finally got there, I gave her the big purple ball and the hello kitty ball (labeled 5/6 on the back) and the big purple ball. She was in shock for a while because she expected something lame. She said yes of course. :) After a while, she got confused as to where the sixth ball was. I said, “Oh it’s for Saturday. Senior Ball.” BA-DUM-PSH. I love telling her bad puns but THIS WAS AWESOME.

I also forgot to take pictures of stuff…
