Two students were boasting about the skill of their masters. One said to the other "My teacher is so skillful, he can hold a brush and write on one side of the river, and I can hold a piece of paper on the far bank and the writing will appear on it."
The other monk replied "Ah. My master is so skillful that when he eats, he does nothing but eat. When he drinks, he does nothing but drink. When he sleeps, he does nothing but sleeps."
(told to me often by my teacher, but refreshed to memory by "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Zen Living")
From Doggle: When life gets you down, licking yourself will always help.
From the Nugs: When all else fails, poo on the floor. You'll feel better AND have something to play with.
From Spawn: Draw on walls. They're way bigger than paper and loads more fun.
From Me: When dealing with anything (like all of the above) it can't hurt to chant "I-am-zen-I-am-zen-I-am-zen" Over and over until it's true (or partially true).
