December 22 - Float votive candles in toilet tank.

December 24 - Do my annual good deed. Go to several stores. Be seen engaged in last minute Christmas shopping, thus making many people feel less inadequate than they really are.

Too funny!

You might have to replace one of those days with "Make decorative pillows for jail cell in case of conviction".

Hey!!!! I posted this first!!! Just kidding, of course. I actually was surprised, given the "hurmor" on this site, that I hadn't seen it posted yet. I know there is some sort of variation of this list out there which is supposed to be even funnier. Maybe someone can find it...
