Helpful Hints

We feel another public service piece is in order, so we’ll offer
the following thoughts. A few were sent to us, the rest we just
think make sense. These are common sense solutions to everyday
problems, and are free or cheap.

1. If you can’t fix it with a hammer, it’s an electrical problem.

2. If it works use it, if it doens’t work, paint it gray.

3. A mouse trap placed on top of the alarm clock will stop you
from hitting the snooze button, rolling over, and being late
for work.

4. In the kitchen, to avoid cutting yourself when you chop up
vegetables, have someone else hold the vegetable while you cut.

5. For marital happiness; you can avoid arguements with the wife
about leaving the seat up by just using the sink.

6. For when you’re sick; if you have a really bad cough, take a
lot of laxitives and you’ll be too scared to cough.

7. When in doubt, keep quiet. It’s better to have people think
you’re a idiot than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

8. To make someone’s day when they have a flat on their car just
reassure them it’s only flat on the bottom.

We’ll end with a thought for the day-
Some people are like slinkies- not really good for anything, but
they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

We can’t be sure all these will work, but the few we’ve tried
do. Comments on just about anything are welcome.
