Suggestions for Ex-Navy people who miss "the good old days"

1. Sleep on the shelf of your closet

2. Replace the closet door with a curtain

3. Six hours after you go to sleep, have your wife whip open the curtain,shine a flashlight in your eyes and mumble "sorry, wrong rack", or "your watch".

4. Renovate your bathroom.Build a wall across the middle of your bathtub and move the showerhead down to chest level.

5. When you take showers, make sure you shut off the water while soaping.

6. Every time there is a thunderstorm, go sit in a wobbly rocking chair and rock as hard as you can until you're nauseous.

7. Put lube oil in your humidifier instead of water and set it to high.

8. Don't watch TV, except movies in the middle of the night. Also have your family vote on which movie to watch, then show a different one.

9. (Mandatory for all ex engineer types).Leave lawnmower running in your living room 2 hours a day for proper noise level.

10. Have the paperboy give you a haircut

11. Once a week blow compressed air up through the chimney, making sure the wind carries the soot across onto your neighbours house. Laugh at him when he curses you

12. Buy a trash compactor and use it only once a week. Store up garbage in the other side of your bathtub.

13. Wake up at midnight and have a peanut butter and jam sandwich on stale bread.(optional: cold canned ravioli or soup).

14. Make up your family menu a week ahead of time without looking in your pantry or refrigerator.

15. Set your alarm clock to go off at random times during the night. When it goes off, jump out of bed and get dressed as fast as you can, then run into the yard and break out the garden hose.

16. Once a month, take a very major appliance completely apart and then put it back together again.

17. Use 18 scoops of coffee per pot and allow it to sit for 5 or 6 hours before drinking.

18. Invite at least 85 people you really don't like to come and visit for a couple of months.

19. Have a fluorescent light installed under your coffee table and lay under it to read books.

20. Raise the threshold and lower the top sills of your front and back doors so that you either trip over the threshold or hit your head on the sill every time you pass through them.

21. Lock wire the lug nuts of your car

22. When making cakes. Prop up one side of the pan while it is baking. Then spread icing really thickly on one side to level off the top.

23. Every so often throw your cat into the pool, shout "Man overboard, ship recovery!",

24. Run into the kitchen and sweep all the pots and dishes off the counter and onto the floor, then yell at your wife for not having the place "stowed for sea"

25. Put on the headphones from your stereo (don't plug them in). Go and stand in front of the stove and say (to nobody in particular) "Stove manned and ready “. Stand there for at least 3 or 4 hours. Say ( again to no-one in particular)"Stove secured". Roll up the headphones cord and put them away.
