People are pretty familiar with this, but it always makes me giggle...
24 ways to have fun in an elevator:
1. Whistle the first seven notes of 'It's a Small World' incessantly.
2. Sell Girl Scout cookies.
3. On a long ride, sway side to side at the natural frequency of the elevator.
4. Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside ask: 'Got enough air in there?'
5. Offer name tags to everyone getting on the elevator. Wear yours upside-down.
6. Stand silent and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.
7. When arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act embarrassed when they open by themselves.
8. Greet everyone getting on the elevator with a warm handshake and ask them to call you Admiral.
9. 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.
10. Sing 'Mary had a little lamb' while continually pushing buttons.
11. Leave a box between the doors.
12. Ask each passenger getting on if you can push the button for them. Then push the wrong ones.
13. Wear a puppet on your hand and talk to other passengers 'through' it.
14. Start a sing-along.
15. Say 'Ding!' at each floor.
16. Lean against the button panel.
17. Say 'I wonder what all these do' and push the red buttons.
18. Listen to the elevator walls with a stethoscope. Make sure you look worried and say "I'm not sure it's going to make it".
19. Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers that this is your 'personal space.'
20. When there is only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.
21. Sit with a desk, pencil cup and a telephone in the elevator. When someone walks in, ask if they have an appointment.
22. Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce "You're one of THEM!" and move to the far corner of the elevator.
23. Drop a pen, wait for someone to pick it up and then yell, "That's mine!"
24. While the doors are opening, hurriedly whisper, "Hide it. quick!" then whistle innocently.
Yes, I have used some of these myself....

Thanks Catherine...you really made me laugh!!! I'll have to share these with my dad. He was a math major, and would probably appreciate it.

I got them off my Latin website, ironically...we get very off topic on the tags. Okay, so you ARE who I thought you were. Anyways, I have no idea why this makes me laugh, but it does. Only math geeks like me might get some of these...but I still find them hilarious TODAY'S TOPICS1. How to Factor Large Primes. 2. What is the meaning of life? It's all relative 3. What is the square route of -1? Use your imagination 4. Factorials! Ha. That's clever. Though I feel dumb because I don't get #2. While I'm on a mildly mathematical tangent: Teaching Math: 1970-2010 1. Teaching Math in 1970 A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit? 2. Teaching Math in 1980 A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit? 3. Teaching Math in 1985 Let P be a set with cardinality 100. Let A be included in P and have cardinality 100*(4/5). What is the cardinality of the set of points included in P but not A? 4. Teaching Math in 1990 A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100, with a production cost of $80. Did he turn a profit? 5. Teaching Math in 2000 A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20. 6. Teaching Math in 2005 A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Explain. How do you think the forest animals felt as the foolish logger cut down their beautiful homes? 7. Teaching Math in 2010 Un hachero vendu una carretada de maderapara 100. El costo de la produccion es $80.

The picture is epic-ness. Only Doctor Who fans would get it, but it's amazing. Got it off tumblr.

Haha, I love it, Mary! Anyways, I have no idea why this makes me laugh, but it does. I think it makes us laugh because he's using a pitcher to poor water into his water bottle, but he is standing in a lake, and could therefore fill his water bottle up directly from the lake.
