  2. Greet everyone getting on the elevator with a warm handshake and ask them to call you Admiral.
  3. Stare and grin at another passenger for a while. Finally announce, "I've got new socks on!"
  4. Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce "You're one of them!" and move to the far corner of the elevator.

  20. Let out a loud fart, point to the dude next to you and exclaim 'You are the one!"
  21. Start to talk about your sex life. Tell them that all of your three children were conceived in this very lift. And point and say "it was up against that wall"
  22. Hand out leaflets - "what to do when the lift cable breaks. The ten tips that will keep your body in one piece (although these tips will not save your life, it will make the rescue a bit cleaner, and we wont have to spend ages cleaning the blood of the walls) Hope you will live to do it again!"
  23. Act surprised when it starts to move and say "THE GROUND IS FALLING!"
  24. Fake an orgasm when the lift starts to move. Announce that it was your best ever
  25. Walk in to the lift with a clear bottle of apple juice. Start drinking and say "ah, theres nothing like your own urine to quench your first. Does anyone want some?"

  29. Get back to nature - go in naked
  30. Pretend to be the pilot of the lift, speech into a headset "this is lift number 1, ready for decent to 1st floor. Waiting for permission to depart, over"
