The Warning Signs Of Insanity
  -  Your friends tell you that you have been acting strange lately, and
  then you hit them several times with a sledgehammer.
  
-  Everyone you meet appears to have tentacles growing out of places that
  you wouldn't expect tentacles to be growing from.
  
-  You start out each morning with a 30-minute jog around the bathroom.
  
-  You write to your mother in Germany every week, even though she
  sends you mail from Iowa asking why you never write.
  
-  Every time you see a street sign, you have a tremendous urge to relieve
  yourself on it.
  
-  You wear your boxers on your head because you heard it will ward of
  evil dandruff spirits.
  
-  You're always having to apologize to your next door neighbor for
  setting fire to his lawn decorations.
  
-  Every commercial you hear on the radio reminds you of death.
  
-  People stay away from you whenever they hear you howl.
  
-  Your breath smells more and more like squirrel dung each passing day.
  
-  You laugh out loud during funerals.
  
-  When your doctor tells you to say ah, you yell out "RAPE! RAPE!"
  
-  Nobody listens to you anymore, because they can't understand you
  through that scuba mask.
  
-  You begin to stop and consider all of the blades of grass you've
  stepped on as a child, and worry that their ancestors are going to one
  day seek revenge.
  
-  You have meaningful conversations with your toaster.
  
-  Your father pretends you don't exist, just to play along with your
  little illusion.
  
-  You collect dead windowsill flies.
  
-  Everytime the phone rings, you shout, "Hey! An angel just got its
  wings!"
  
-  You like cats. Especially with mayo.
  
-  You scream "I've got a knife!" to people who try to sell you things.
  
-  You scream "I've got a knife!" to people at your family reunion.
  
-  You cry at the end of every episode of Gilligan's Island, because
  they weren't rescued.
  
-  You put tennis balls in the microwave to see if they'll hatch.
  
-  Whenever you listen to the radio, the music sounds backwards.
  
-  You have a predominant fear of fabric softener.
  
-  You wake up each morning and find yourself sitting on your head in
  the middle of your front lawn.
  
-  Your dentist asks you why each individual tooth has your name etched
  on it, and you tell him it's for security reasons.
  
-  Melba toast excites you.
  
-  When the waiter asks for your order, you ask to go into another room
  to tell him, because "the napkins have ears."
  
-  You tend to agree with everything your mother's dead uncle tells you.
  
-  Every time you see the commercial for the Hair Club For Men, you think
  to yourself, "I think I'll kill the pope today."
  
-  You call up random people and ask if you can borrow their dog, just for
  a few minutes.
  
-  Your main goal in life is to become the president of Bulemia.
  
-  Nearly everything you say involves the word, "P-toing!"
  
-  You argue with yourself about which is better, to be eaten by a koala
  or to be loved by an infectious disease.
  
-  You like to sit in cornfields for prolonged periods of time, and
  pretend that you're a stalk.
  
-  You think that exploding wouldn't be so bad, once you got used to it.
  
-  You try to make a list of the Warning Signs of Insanity. (cough)
  
-  People offer you help, but you unfortunately interpret this as a
  violation of your rights as a boysenberry.
