Don't take a leak in the middle of the night w/out turning on the bathroom light because it hurts your eyes.

Don't tote a gun while near the White House.

Don't attempt to kill yourself after you cut off your hand by shooting yourself with a nailgun.

Don't call the electric company to tell them about the electricity you've been stealing.

never cary an 18 ft 2x4 vertically, under a glass over hang.
never plug in a video cable into a video card that isn't screwed in.
never annoy those more powerfull than you in an online chat place ever, i mean ever.


when boiling clams, put some corn flour in the water, it'll make them throw up all the grit in them so they arn't gritty to eat.

Don't put anything in microwave if it's wrapped into alluminium foil.
Don't ever try to install motherboard after couple shots of vodka and especially don't make memory sticks or any other peripheral to fit in if they don't fit on the first try :)

Make sure you know what you're putting into your mouth. For instance, my mom put mouth wash in a liquid soap dispenser and I'd pump it into a cup and swish. Well, one day there were no cups and I needed some, so I quirted some into my mouth only to find that there was only liquid soap....blech
