Humans are nothing more than animals, occasionally intelligent ones.

Most other things I've learned are based off that.

Their hooves get caught in the grating.

That one made me laugh out loud. And I'm at work, so everyone wanted to know why I was laughing....

Never give your dog a corn cob to chew on. They might like them, but a lot of dogs choke to death on them (happened to my brother-in-law's dog just days after he gave it to a friend because found out he was allergic to dogs.)

It is possible to catch fish (like sunfish) in a plastic sandwich bag using bread as bait.

Extreme stress will show you the true nature of a person.

Also: Avoid the DMV at all costs. It is a little slice of hell... a black hole absorbing all that is pleasant and happy.

If something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

When passing a random dog on the sidewalk, don't put an open hand out to pet it. Put a fist out and save a finger. :shocked:

they also like the smell of the green hardcoat turtle wax. Evey time i wax my car, there are racoon-orgy footprints all over the hood and the roof...

dont touch the xbox and pc frames at the same time while they are plugged in, it will shock the sh!t outta ya...

beer caps will destroy your in-sink garbage disposer and your landlord will have clause about that in the lease...
