16 Inch Pianist And A Million Ducks

A man walks into a bar with a large bag draped over his shoulder. He takes a seat at a stool, and from the bag he removes a tiny piano and a 16 inch pianist. He sets the pianist next to the piano and the pianist begins playing happily.

"A shot please."

The bartender looks at him befuddled.

"Oh, that? It's just my 16 inch pianist."

"How the hell did you get one of those?"

The man pulls a genie lamp and sets it on the bar.

"With this, of course. Go ahead, try it. Just speak into the hole."

The bartender whispers into the hole, and within seconds the room fills with a million ducks.

"What the hell!? I asked for a million bucks!"

"Yeah, he's hard of hearing. Do you really think I asked for a 16 inch pianist?"

Maintan A Healthy Level Of Insanity

1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they will slow down.
2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.
3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
4. Put your garbage can on your desk ang label it "in".
5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addiction, switch to espresso.
6. Finish all your sentences with "in accordance with the prophecy".
7. Dont use any punctuation
8. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
9. Order a diet water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.
10. Specify (and insist!) that your drive-through order is "to go".
11. Sing along at the opera.
12. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.
13. Put mosquito netting around your work area and play tropical sounds all day.
14. Five days in advance, tell your friends you cant attend their party because you're not in the mood.
15. Have your co-workers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Bottom.
16. When the money comes out the ATM, scream "I won!, I won!"
17. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling "run for your lives, they're loose!"
18. And the final way to keep a healthy level of insanity...

Open Letter Invitation to the 2008 Tour of the Fireflies

Hello,

This is to inform you about the 2008 edition of the Tour of the Fireflies on Sunday, April 20, 6:30 AM at Tiendesitas, Pasig City. If you have or can use a bike on that day, join us for a 50 km ride across several cities in Metro Manila. The ride starts at 7 AM and will end at around 12 noon also at Tiendesitas. Awarding ceremonies to the best costumed bikers wearing earth-friendly themes will then follow. As always, the schedule of this yearly tour has been timed to be near the World's Earth Day event (April 22, http://ww2.earthday.net/).

Get ready to join thousands of bikers including kids as young as 6, grampas as old as 65 and out of shape people. If they can do it, so can you! Last year's tour saw more than 5,000 registered participants. Along with unregistered riders, some estimates put the peloton numbers at around 6,500 strong - and lasting several minutes passing by an arbitrary landmark!

The pace of the ride is only 10 - 15 kph with a few rest stops along the way! T-shirts (P150) and jerseys (P300) are available at the registration booth on the tour day itself starting at 5:30 AM.

The Tour of the Fireflies (ToF) is an annual 50-km bicycle ride through seven cities to promote the use of the bicycle as an alternative means of transportation that is cheap, efficient, environmentally sensible and good for one's health.

This year, synchronized bicycle rides in Cagayan de Oro, Bacolod, Baguio, and Tarlac are being organized by supporters to drum up more support for sustainable transportation and livable communities.
