O T but suits the mentality of this Forum

Amazing Simple Home Remedies

1. If You're Choking On An Ice Cube, Simply Pour A Cup Of Boiling Water Down
Your Throat. Presto! The Blockage Will Instantly Remove Itself.

2. Avoid Cutting Yourself When Slicing Vegetables By Getting Someone Else To
Hold The Vegetables While You Chop.

3. Avoid Arguments With The Females About Lifting The Toilet Seat By Using
The Sink.

4. For High Blood Pressure Sufferers ~ Simply Cut Yourself And Bleed For A
Few Minutes, Thus Reducing The Pressure On Your Veins. Remember To Use A
Timer.

5. A Mouse Trap Placed On Top Of Your Alarm Clock Will Prevent You From
Rolling Over And Going Back To Sleep After You Hit The Snooze Button.

6. If You Have A Bad Cough, Take A Large Dose Of Laxatives. Then You'll Be
Afraid To Cough.

7. You Only Need Two Tools In Life - Wd-40 And Duct Tape. If It Doesn't Move
And Should, Use The Wd-40. If It Shouldn't Move And Does, Use The Duct Tape.


8. Remember - Everyone Seems Normal Until You Get To Know Them.

9. If You Can't Fix It With A Hammer, You've Got An Electrical Problem.

Daily Thought: Some People Are Like Slinkies - Not Really Good For Anything
But They Bring A Smile To Your Face When Pushed Down The Stairs.

Could be worse. He could have sent him a jar of that bunny repellant that was mentioned in my low life scum thread. That was another interesting solution to one of life's problems.

I'm in San Diego now and it's pretty gloomy... I haven't been on the bike in over 10 days.
