HaHa! Ya gotta be BAD to look on here.

What sort of mischief amuses you?

One of my favorites is what I sometimes do when walking out of a room with five or more people in it. I pop the question: "Hey, what's the difference between a grown-up and a child?"

After a pause, I say, "A grown-up can leave a room full of people without playing with the light-switch on the way out."

Then I give the switch a tiny little nudge and demonstrate my childishness.

What sort of (harmless?) mischief amuses you or do you take part in, anywhere?

Any monkish misbehaviors?

    "Never trust anyone who can sit in a room with a tea cosy and NOT try it on for size....."

    "Setting a good example to children takes all the fun out of middle age".

    You'll die regretting the things you DIDN'T do, not the things you did.

    The mystery is not why children get up to mischief.
    The mystery is why do we stop?

    When next you see a pile of leaves - jump in them.

    And when next it snows, catch a flake on your tongue.
    Or try to see one in its resplendent six-pointed glory, before it melts. It's unique......

    Wave at people in cars who you don't know - they will go miles arguing who you are.

    Don't obsolete 50,000, 1/2 inch acrylic balls in your production area. Oh!, and don't put them in Ted's overhead cabinet so that when he opened it, they bounced and bipped all over his head and desk and floor. Cuz I would never do that.

    Honest.

    Or tape the little phone thingy down (the one that pops up when you pick up the receiver) - so that even though the phone rings and they pick up the hand set - the phone never actually "connects" - then they sit there going "Hello?" "Hello??" "HELLO!?" "H E L L O !?!?!!?!"

    Cuz I would never do that either.

    I like messin' with people's heads, particularly any form of Govt. clerks and airline ticket agents.

    One of my faves is when I register my car (we have 5 digit license numbers), the clerk says "What is your car number?". I reply "1383". To which I get an icy "You mean ZERO 1383". To which I reply "Zero is not a number, it's symbol which represents the ABSENCE of a number". And the silence that follows is deafening!

    Also airport ticket agents... when they ask "Has anyone placed anything in your luggage without your knowledge?". I respond "How would I know?". Ditto silence.

    Like I always say... "I have to grow old, but I don't have to grow up!!".

    I read this and couldn't help but think of that scene in "Risky Business" where Tom Cruise was dancing to a Bob Seger tune.
