I don't think so.  They're sober. :)

Stand some distance from someone.  Stretch out your arm and make a 
pinching motion with your fingers lined up with their head and yell, "I 
pinch your head!".  It looses much in the translation. :)

Boo.  Hiss.

Nope, they get paid in stages.  Last third doesn't get paid until the 
building passes final inspection.  What they don't get is that I'm far 
pickier than any building inspector they've ever met. *Evil Grin*

One of the hammering minions screwed up a metal panel so a replacement 
must be ordered.  They tell me that the building will be done by 
Tuesday.  In other news, the "Monkeys fly out of Gene's ass" watch has 
begun.
