Truth in Advertising

Two little boys go into the grocery store. One is nine, one is four. The nine year old grabs a box of tampons from the shelf and carries it to the register for check-out.The cashier asks “Oh, these must be for your mom, huh?”The nine year old replies “Nope, not for my mom.” Without thinking, the cashier responded “Well, they must be for your sister then?”The nine year old quipped, “Nope, not for my sister either.”The cashier had now become curious “Oh. Not for your mom and not for your sister, who are they for?”The nine year old says “They’re for my four year old little brother.”The cashier is surprised “Your four year old little brother??”The nine year old explains: “Well yeah, they say on TV if you wear one of these you can swim or ride a bike and my little brother can’t do either of them!”

In an elevator…

When there’s only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn’t you. Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more. Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones. Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream ‘that’s mine’. Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.Move your desk into the elevator and whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.Leave a box in the corner and when someone gets on ask them if they hear something ticking. Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers. Ask, ‘Did you feel that?’Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.When the doors close, announce to the others, ‘It’s okay, don’t panic, they open again.’ Call out ‘group hug’, and then enforce it.Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers. Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
