You Might Be a Southern Baptist.....
Psychiatric Hot Line
A man experiencing a crisis in his life called the
toll-free Psychiatric Hot Line listed in the phone
directory. This is what he heard:
"Welcome to the Psychiatric Hot Line.
- If you are obsessive-compulsive, repeatedly press 1.
- If you are co-dependent, ask someone to press 2.
- If you have multiple personalities, press 3, 4, and 5.
- If you are suffering from paranoia, we know who
you are and what you want. Stay on the line until we
trace the call.
- If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a little
voice will tell you which number to press.
- If you are bipolar, it doesn't matter which number
you press. No one will answer.
- If you are depressed, push any button you wish. It
won't make any difference anyhow. Thank you for
your call."

Fun Things to Do in an Elevator
Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering: "Shut up, darnit, all of
you just shut UP!"
Whistle the first seven notes of "It's a Small World" incessantly.
Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside ask: "Got enough air in
there?"
Offer name tags to everyone getting on the elevator. Wear yours upside-down.
Stand silent and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.
When arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act
embarrassed when they open by themselves.
Greet everyone getting on the elevator with a warm handshake and ask them to call you
Admiral.
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.
Stare, grinning, at another passenger for a while, and then announce: "I've got new
socks on!"
Meow occasionally.
Bet the other passengers you can fit a quarter in your nose.
Walk on with a cooler that says "human head" on the side.
Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce "You're one of THEM!" and
move to the far corner of the elevator.
Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.
When the elevator is silent, look around and ask "is that your beeper?"
Say "Ding!" at each floor.
Say "I wonder what all these do" and push the red buttons.
Listen to the elevator walls with a stethoscope.
Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers that
this is your "personal space."
Announce in a demonic voice: "I must find a more suitable host body."
Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
