I actually heard this on alt.pagan, but the original poster's name has
been forgotten. My humble apologies for repeating the joke without
express written persimmons(sic).

What did the Buddhist say to the hot-dog vendor?
..Make me one with everything.

Nothing like an old joke ressurected from the dead.

How about this. Use the fictitious word "fustulate" from the latin
"fustulum" regularly in conversation. Watch people get confused. Speak
in Yoda-ese next time you go to a fast food place... "A burger I
desire, onions without, ketchup extra with." Proper inflection is the
key here.  Reflect on the fact that the molecules of alcohol found in
beer, wine and liquor actually look like little pudgy doggies up
close.  Above all, laugh manically without any good reason every once
in a while.  Blessed Be,
