Thursday, November 2
a funny, and some urban myths busted.
It's that time of year, so here are some tips to make your holiday shopping a little more fun.
- Take boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they aren't looking.
- Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
- Leave a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the restrooms.
- Walk up to an employee and told her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares... and watch what happens.
- Go to the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on layaway.
- Move a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
- Set up a tent in the camping department and tell other shoppers they're invited in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.
- When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'
- Look right into the security camera; use it as a mirror, and pick your nose.
- While handling guns in the hunting department, ask the clerk if he knows where the antidepressants are.
- Dart around the store suspiciously loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.
- In the auto department, practice your "Madonna" look using different size funnels.
- Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, yell "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!"
- When an announcement came over the loud speaker, assume the fetal position and scream "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!"
And last, but not least ....
- Go into a fitting room, shut the door, wait awhile, then yell very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I love snopes.com.
All those email forwards you get, extolling the hidden dangers of everything from Swiffer Wetjet (see here) to Mr Clean Magic Eraser (here), to, my personal favourite so far, horse sterilisation pills being used as the new date rape drug (seriously, yikes!).
By the way, if you're really lazy and don't want to click the links, neither of the first 2 things are dangerous, and there's no such thing as a horse sterilizer pill.
Good to know.
