until asked to stop, then explain that you got "stuck."

can't-hack-it pimple-faced gofer.
23. Attempt to teach the order-taker a secret code. Use the code on all subsequent orders.
24. When the order is repeated, change it slightly. When it is repeated again, change it again. On
the third time, say "You just don't get it, do you?"
25. When they say "Will that be all?", snicker and say "We'll find out, won't we?"
26. Order with a Speak-n-Spell.
27. If order-taker suggests a side order, ask why s/he is punishing you.

18 Fun Things To Do In A Final That Does Not Matter (i.e. You are going to fail
the class
completely no matter what you get on the final exam)
1) Get the copy of the exam, run out screaming "Andre, Andre, I've got the secret documents!"
2) Talk the entire way through the exam. Read questions aloud, debate your answers with
yourself out loud. If asked to stop, yell out, "I'm SOOO sure you can hear me thinking." Then
start talking about what a jerk the instructor is.
3) Bring cheerleaders.
4) Walk in, get the exam, sit down. About five minutes into it, loudly say to the instructor,
"I don't understand ANY of this. I've been to every lecture all semester long! What's the deal?
And who the hell are you? Where's the regular guy?"
5) On the answer sheet (book, whatever) find a new, interesting way to refuse to answer
every question. For example: I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it conflicts
with my religious beliefs. Be creative.
6) Run into the exam room looking about frantically. Breathe a sigh of relief. Go to the
instructor, say "They've found me, I have to leave the country" and run off.
7) Fifteen minutes into the exam, stand up, rip up all the papers into very small pieces,
throw them into the air and yell out "Merry Christmas!" If you're really daring, ask for another
copy of the exam. Say you lost the first one. Repeat this process every fifteen minutes.
8) Do the entire exam in another language. If you don't know one, make one up! For
math/science exams, try using Roman numerals.
9) Every five minutes, stand up, collect all your things, move to another seat, continue
with the exam.
10) Turn in the eam approximately 30 minutes into it. As you walk out, start commenting
on how easy it was.
11) Every now and then, clap twice rapidly. If the instructor asks you why, tell him/her
in a very derogatory tone, "the light bulb that goes on above my head when I get an idea is
hooked up to a clapper. DUH!"
12) Come to the exam wearing a black cloak. After about 30 minutes, put on a white
mask and start yelling "I'm here, the phantom of the opera" until they drag you away.
13) Bring a water pistol with you. 'Nuff said.
14) From the moment the exam begins, hum the theme to Jeopardy. Ignore the instructor's
requests for you to stop. When they finally get you to leave one way or another, begin
whistling the theme to the Bridge on the River Kwai.
15) One word: Wrestlemania.
16) Try to get people in the room to do the wave.
17) Get deliveries of candy, flowers, balloons, telegrams, etc . . . sent to you every
few minutes throughout the exam.
18) Bring a musical instrument with you, play various tunes. If you are asked to
stop, say "it helps me think." bring a copy of the Student Handbook with you, challenging the
instructor to find the secion on musical instruments during finals. Don't forget to use
the phrase "Told you so.".

13 Fun Things To Do To Get Salespeople on the Phone to Hang Up
1. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for
bankruptcy and you could sure use some money. Ask, "How long can I keep
it? Do I have to ever pay it back, or is it like the other money
I borrowed before my bankruptcy?"
2. If you get one of those pushy people who won't shut up, just
listen to their sales pitch. When they try to close the sale, tell
them that you'll need to go get your credit card. Then, just set the
phone down and go do laundry, shopping or whatever. See how long
that commission based scum waits for you to get your credit card.
3. If they start out with, "How are you today?" say, "Why do you want
to know?" Or you can say, "I'm so glad you asked, because no one
seems to care these days and I have all these problems, my sciatica
is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died...." When they
try to get back to the sales process, just continue on with telling
about your problems.
4. If the person says he's Joe Doe from the ABC Company, ask him to
spell his name, then ask him to spell the company name, then ask
where it is located. Continue asking personal questions or questions
about the company for as long as necessary.
5. This one works better if you are male: Telemarketer: "Hi, my name
is Julie and I'm with Dodger & Peck Services.... You: "Hang on a
second." (few seconds pause) "Okay, (in a really husky voice) what
are you wearing?"
6. Crying out, in well-simulated tones of pleasure and surprise,
"Julie!! Is this really you? I can't believe it! Julie, how have you
BEEN?" Hopefully, this will give Julie a few brief moments of terror
as she tries to figure out where the heck she could know you from.
7. Say, "No," over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each no,
and keep an even tempo even as they're trying to speak. This is the
most fun if you can keep going until they hang up.
8. If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up with their Family and
Friends plan, reply, in as sinister a voice as you can muster, "I
don't have any friends...would you be my friend?"
9. If they clean rugs: "Can you get blood out, you can? Well, how
about goat blood or HUMAN blood - chicken blood too?"
10. Let the person go through their spiel, providing minimal but
necessary feedback in the form of an occasional "Uh-huh, really, or,
"That's fascinating." Finally, when they ask you to buy, ask them to
marry you. They get all flustered, but just tell them you couldn't
give your credit card number to someone who's a complete stranger.
11. Tell them you work for the same company they work for.
Example: Telemarketer: "This is Bill from Widget & Associates."
You: "Widget & Associates!! Hey I work for them too. Where are you
calling from?" Telemarketer: "Uh, Dallas, Texas."
You: "Great, they have a group there too? How's business/the weather?
Too bad the company has a policy against selling to employees! Oh well, see ya."
12. Tell the Telemarketer you are busy and if they will give you
their phone number you will call them back. If they say they are not
allowed to give out their number, then ask them for their home number
and tell them you will call them at home (this is usually the most
effective method of getting rid of Telemarketers). If the person
says, "Well, I don't really want to get a call at home," say, "Ya!
Now you know how I feel." (smiling, of course...)
13. My personal favorite way to Make a Telemarketer Go Away involves
the
help of my 3 year old son. When they call & ask to speak with Mr.
Stevens, I explain they want the "other Mr. Stevens". As I hand the
phone to my son, I tell him to explain all the fun things he did that
day, from the detailed slimy booger he picked & where he wiped it, to
his favorite & most proud stories about "pooping in the toilet." He is
so proud of the shapes he can make. Usually after a few minutes of
running around on the cordless phone explaining
How proud he was with the details of his day, he comes back & says"
they Hung up". Imagine the rudeness of some people.....Go figure....
