My top tips
2007-10-26 11:32:00 Here are some of my suggestions [link]: Protect your own health: Save on booze by drinking cold tea instead of whisky. The following morning you can create the effects of a hangover by drinking a thimble full of washing up liquid and banging your head repeatedly on the wall. Avoid cutting yourself while clumsily slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away. Smokers. Save on matches and lighters, by simply lighting your next cigarette from the butt of your last one. Avoid obesity: TAKE your dustbin to the supermarket with you so that you can see which items you have recently run out of. LOSE weight quickly by eating raw pork or rancid tuna. I found that the subsequent food poisoning/diarrhea enabled me to lose 12 pounds in only 2 days. DRILL a one inch diameter hole in your refrigerator door. This will allow you to check that the light goes off when the door is closed. Be responsible for your own safety: SMELL gas? Locate the suspected leak by stri... More About: Tips
