    Number 18 reminds me of something my club did back in 1970.
    Around 15 of us where riding out to Unidilla for the bike races.
    Every time we rode into a town we would slow down to about 15mph, ride 2 abreast with the pres. in front, and smile and wave to everyone on the street.

    Just a helpful tip for suggestion #2:

    You don't have to wait until you write the check. Whenever you have a few free moments, fill in that field on your upcoming checks. That way you won't have to worry about forgetting.



    All the best,
    Michael

    Number 13 should specify that that is best done with a fountain pen type cartridge, like the ones they had in the 70s.

    HEY, what's wrong with TWENTY!?!?

    Actually, #3 makes sense! A lot of times, they forget things you will generally need for togo food. HECK, CARS are now built with cup carriers and you KNOW one reason is drive throughs.

      Holler random numbers while someone is counting.
      I prefer to whisper some numbers - it mess up the counter big-time but they aren't sure whether you meant to do it or not...

      Honking and waving at strangers doesn't work - they just honk and wave back. What fun is that?

      One of my favorites is to go up to a stranger at a party and start with "I'm sure we've met before but I can't remember where" - they usually believe it and will go on for half an hour trying to figure out where or how or when they met you. When you get bored, you just say "sorry, I was thinking of someone else" and walk off.

        I saw this comedian once and in his routine he says he likes to walk up to strangers, at a party for instance, and just start up the conversation half-way through.

        Like walking up to somebody and going "So I told him I'm not taking any more of that crap from him..."

    #11 - LMAO --- I used to do that at work in the Columbia Gorge. We women there were all friends and understood the joke but it really used to freak the new general manager out. Nobody ever laughed about it til he left so he didn't know what the hell to think. He shut that door behind him and we'd be in tears. Some people are just too much fun to f*** with.

    That was a great list. Thanks, Bill. I'm probably going to pull a couple of those on people.

    In a similar vein, a few years ago I had a guy come up behind me at a grocery store once, put his hands over my eyes and ask, "Guess who?"

    I blurted out a name and he takes his hands off and and says, "Nope."

    I turned around to see who it was and didn't recognize him, so I asked, "Do I know you?"

    "Nope," he says, "that's what makes it so hard." Then he walked away laughing to himself.

    I like a guy that knows how to make his own fun.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

    You can tick people off just by having them keep repeating the same stuff over and over again and acting like you still don't get what they're saying.

      My wife likes to do that one to me. I don't get mad, but it is kind of maddening.
