Yanno what? Calling rape anymore wont do a woman any good if she actually IS in trouble. You have to yell fire because of jokes like that. So, if you happen to be one of the 1 in three woman who will be raped in their lifetime, look back on this moment, and tell me it was still funny.

102. Begin speaking in large detail of an imaginary rash that is developping in your nether regions and then ask anyone if they would like to see it

103. On a long route, pretend you are going to the washroom and yell 'OOHHHHHYEAH!' when you've reached your destination
Words are spilling out like endless rain into a paper cup, they slither while they pass. They slip away across the universe... Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting thorough my open mind possessing and caressing me..

GEEZ I apologize to anyone who found mine offensive, although I got the idea from an old Mad TV or SNL or whatever.

104. Scream whenever someone gets on. Then claim that they appeared out of nowhere.

105. Countdown the floors when you reach a new one. IE: Yell, FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE! GROUND! BASEMENT! etc for their respective floors.

106. Claim you are Harry Potter. Then aim a 'wand' at them and yell, "WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA!" The yell POOF and claim that they are now a frog.


MEH too much description for 105...
