20 WAYS TO CONFUSE YOUR ROOMMATE  1. Sit up. Say, "Time to make the doughnuts." Leave. Do this often. 2. Every five minutes, get up, open the door, peek out, close the door and look relieved. 3. Every night before you go to bed, beg your roommate for a glass of water. When he or she brings it to you, dump it on the floor and immediately go to sleep. If the roommate ever refuses to bring you a glass of water,lie on the bed and pretend to be dying of dehydration, making annoying gagging noises until your roommate obeys. 4. Express an extreme fear of sunlight. Move away from and flinch at areas of the room that are sunny. 5. Pick up the phone every five minutes and say, "hello." Look confused and hang up. 6. Unwrap a candy bar. Eat the wrapper and throw the chocolate away. 7. When listening to the radio, sing along with different lyrics and a different tune. 8. Address your roommate by a different name every time you talk to him or her. 9. Constantly drink from an empty glass. 10. Every time you handle something of your roommate's, use a tissue or gloves. 11. While unlocking your door with the key, complain that the engine won't start. 12. Name your animal crackers.

At a designated time every day, take the rabbit into the bathroom and engage in loud shouting matches. If your roommate inquires, refuse to discuss the situation. 15. Keep a hamster as a pet. Buy a blender, and make milkshakes every day. Then, one day, get rid of the hamster. Make a shake using a lot of ketchup. When your roommate comes in, look at the shake, look at the empty hamster cage,say,"I was curious." 16.Try to make meals using your roommate's electric blanket. 17. Aerate your underwear drawer. Claim that "they" are not getting enough oxygen. 18. Put black tape over the eyes of the people in your roommate pictures. Complain that they were staring at you. 19. Get a surfboard and put it on your bed. Stand on it, and pretend to surf for about fifteen minutes. Then, pretend to "wipe out" and fall off the bed onto the floor.

You Might Be A College Student If...    You have the pizza delivery phone number memorized.   You have ever shown up for class wearing the same outfit you wore to bed the previous night.   Your idea of a square meal is a box of pop-tarts. You have ever gotten up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and had to step over more than two complete strangers on your floor.   It feels weird taking a shower without wearing beach sandals. You schedule your day around "The Bold and the Beautiful." You have developed a weekly ritual of waking up blurry-eyed on  Saturday afternoons and proceeding to determine where the hell you are. It doesn't faze you at all to carry on a pleasant conversation with someone while taking a shit. A baseball cap and some binaca make an acceptable substitute for daily grooming. You have ever done laundry at 4am.   You have ever sung from a rooftop. You have ever vomited from a rooftop.  Or down a stairwell.   You know approximately how many people can fit into your closet, shower stall, or trunk of your car.   You have ever traveled anywhere with several bags of dirty clothes. You have ever seen a sofa fall past your bedroom window.  On fire. You have ever paid $100 for a single book without batting an eye.   You have ever sold that same $100 book eight months later, unread, for seven bucks.   More than twenty percent of your household furnishings are made from milk crates.   You have done a week's worth of food shopping at Walmart. You have ever heaved seventeen beer cans and a liter of vodka into a footlocker because someone at your door didn't use the secret knock.   You have ever actually used some of the complex mathematical formulas from your physics class notes to determine the best way to "relocate" a granite statue. You know not to enter your room when a certain object is hanging from the doorknob.

You store your toiletries in a bucket next to your bed. You have ever been part of a team whose goal was to get a goat in a Volkswagen onto the domed roof of the administration building before dawn.   People suddenly shut up while Letterman does the "Top Ten" List.  


Dear Clive My Darlin' Son:   
I'm writing this letter slow because I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left home.  Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within twenty miles from your house so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address because the last Arkansas  family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so that they wouldn't have to change their address. The place is really nice.  It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure it works so well though, cuz last week I put a load in and pulled the chain and ain't seen them since. The weather ain't bad here. It only rained twice last week, the first time for three days and the second time for four days. About that coat you wanted me to send you, your Uncle Cletis said it  would be too heavy to send it in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets. Bubba locked his keys in the car yesterday. We was really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your pa out. Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven't found out what it is yet so I don't know if you're an aunt or an uncle. The baby looks just like your brother......  Uncle Ted fell in a whiskey vat last week. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated and he burned for three days. Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck. Ralph was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety.  Your two other friends were in the back. They drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down. There ain't much more at this time. Nothing much has happened. Love, Mom P.S. I was going to send you some money but the envelope was already sealed.

A woman was walking through her new house with the contractor. As they walked through rooms, she told him what color she wanted him to paint each room. In the bedroom she said, "I think this would be nice in a cream." The contractor stuck his head out of the window and yelled, "GREEN SIDE UP!" This perplexed the woman. They moved to the living room and she said, " I would love rose in this area." Again the contractor strolled over to the window and yelled, "GREEN SIDE UP!" Again the woman was confused but did not say anything. As they walked into the kitchen she proudly announced that she wanted this room to be, " a glorious shade of mauve." Once again the contractor went to the window and yelled,"GREEN SIDE UP!" Finally she could not stand this anymore. "What are you shouting GREEN SIDE UP out very window of this house?"
