Riddle Fiddle

Got plenty of time after reading all the news, answering all your emails and winning a few hands of solitaire? Try your mind at this challenging riddle. If you get stuck at let's say number 2, and feel like the world is coming to an end, you can either quit or think of this:

Find the point of highest altitude within your neighborhood, and climb to it on the second Saturday of the month. Bring whipped cream, a rubber chicken, water, something to make a fire with and a pot.
Build a fire, boil the water, and throw the rubber chicken in the pot of boiling water, while shedding all clothes, covering yourself in whipped cream and start dancing around the fire singing N*Sync songs. Britney Spears, 98 degreez, et al will work just as well. Doing so may lead to you getting smitten by a blunt object. Continue anyway.
After 30 minutes to an hour, the police will come to arrest you; when this happens, let out a high-pitched shriek and start running around town. They will eventually catch you, and put you in a cell with a guy named Bob. He inform you he's doing time for abusing a corpse, and then force you to play a game called 'scrotal damage'.
At this point, the riddle is still not solved, but you'll have much bigger problems on your hands than solving a riddle on the internet.
(The above was taken from a forum, somewhere on the internet ;) )

Good luck and lotsa fun!
