Entertain yourself with a random act of stupidity. It's a lot of fun, and if you don't break up the monotony of everyday life with something absurd once in a while, you're not living your life to the fullest.
So just what kinds of random acts of stupidity are we talking about? It depends on you- how comfortable are you with doing unusual things?

For the more conservative, perhaps something anonymous would be more comfortable. Try glueing a coin to a public surface when nobody is looking, or buying seven cans of soft drink and leaving them stacked up on top of a park bench or at a bus stop. Or maybe buying some cat or dog food and placing it in a bowl and leaving that bowl on top of somebody's car.

If you're a bit more adventurous, you could try doing some of the things I do. Like writing letters which don't make much sense, such as an apology from a guard dog for not havig kept the bats off soemone's tree, and then putting that letter into somebody's mailbox. Or collecting garden gnomes, painting angry faces on them, and putting them in the local park. Or getting something strange, like two empty water-bottles tied together with string, and hanging them from a bridge.

What is the point to doing any of these things? There isn't one, really, but when you're old and wrinkly, i'm sure you'll look back on having done it with a warm smile.
