2) Go to work, sneak up behing your coworkers all day, poking them in the head with your index/middle fingers, saying "Tsztstztstz!" as if you're taking a screwdriver to their head. When they turn around, act like it never happened and talk about work.
3) Clap your heels together and say "There's no place like home! There's no place like home! There's no place like home!"
