I have actually done number 10, more than once. Usually this is after several other diners have ordered diet coke.

As for number 19, my father used to tell my brother, "you can easily be replaced by a trained spider monkey".

The person who sent it to me is a teacher and said they were going to try #2. She couldn't quit laughing at the mental image it was giving her.

This same brother who is replaceable by a spider monkey, once was going through a huge list of cold calls on the phone. By the end of the day, he was so frazzled that he dialed a number on the list, and then asked for himself, then recovered by saying: "Wait a minute. I am David.".

I HAVE done #2. Other people's reactions were funny---some asked straight faced if I had heard the page. Others asked (timidly) if I had done that myself. ("Nope. Skinem did." They then back away slowly and avoid me now. Good. Voices? What voices?)

As for number #19, our children weren't told they'd be let go...we told them we were going to sell them for medical experiments.

Now, they're afraid of the doc...

I'd like to try #14, but I don't think I could convince Uncle Sam that the gin-and-tonic was for medicinal purposes ... the tonic for the usual mid-Atlantic tropical heat and the gin for mental health reasons. Although, I could play my Junkanoo Cru CD and put on the lei I keep on hand in case anyone wants to get lei'd.
