Everyone wants to play Eleanor’s game. This group of students were probably trying to figure out the first lady’s snaps.

Since we know how fun innocently tormenting others can be, let’s play a game that will drive everyone nuts.  The key is that at least one person other than yourself has to know how the game works and one person has to be clueless to it all.  Then hype up how fun it is so that everyone who doesn’t know the trick wants to play.

Would you rather… spend all day everyday knitting or have all your clothes made all from yarn?

So what that “Would You Rather” was all the rage in 5th grade when Delia*s catalog highlighted it?  The game still holds up!  If you want a fun car game, group ice-breaker, or pool side conversation,  break out the old tried and true.  Would You Rather simply asks its participants to choose between 2 equally awful or awesome choices and then justify their reasons.  For instance, would you rather stand on the edge of the Empire State building on a windy day or the middle of the desert in the middle of a heat wave?

One of my college English teachers always had us “warm up” with writing drills before class.  She’d write a prompt on the board and we’d spend a few minutes writing it in our journal.  The other day I stumbled across one of those entries entitled “My Top 10 Favorite Things,”  which I kinda got a kick out of. It was a list of my top 10 favorite things in the world, excluding people. Most of them still rang true. Continue reading →

• So Brian and Anna are this married couple who live in a house across the pond from old Henry’s supermarket.  Usually they take the long way around the pond to the store, but it was winter and the road was blocked with snow.  Anna says to Brian, “Sweetheart, you stay warm in the house, I’ll go across the frozen pond to get us the ingredients for our soup. Can you give me some cash?”   Brian says, “Oh no, don’t bother, just have Henry add it to our bill.” Anna is upset by this. She says, “Brian, why don’t you just give me money? Do you not trust me with it?” Brian immediately jumps in to calm her down, “Oh no, my dear, it’s not that at all. I just don’t know how thick the ice is.” Continue reading →

Cute Jokes

• A bear walks into a bar and says, “I’ll have a rum and…” after a few seconds continues, “coke.” The bartender pours the drink and gives it to the bear.  The bear comes back again and says, “This time I’ll have a gin and…” waits a few seconds before finishing, “tonic.” The bartender again complies.  The bear comes back a third time and orders.  “Can I have a vodka and…” he waited even longer this time, “cranberry?”  The bartender responded, “Sure, but what’s with the big pause?” The bear looks down, shrugs his shoulders and says, “What these? I’ve had them all my life.”

• Here’s to a long life and a merry one; A quick death and an easy one; A handsome guy and an honest one; A cold beer… and another one!
