[Mr. Bloom]

[Kitsune06]

Remember exactly how high or low the ceiling is over your bed.

[Bluetree]

On a hot day when you run into the post office for a quick errand, do NOT leave an unopened container of Yoplait on your steamy dashboard.

If you do, do NOT open it and expect anything other than a massive pink Yoplosion.

[Bluetree]

Never say out loud, "I haven't fallen off/crashed my bike in a long time."

[smilingcat]

Never say out loud, "I haven't fallen off/crashed my bike in a long time."

It doesn't matter if it's electrical tape or duct tape. It'll still stick to body hair.

[lizbids]

Never ask someone chewing gum if they have a piece for you...they''ll tell you they got it from someone else...:)

If you're co-ordinated enough to climb up on one of those big exercise balls, ie stand on it no hands, don't try to hop off.

So what happens if you use a lint roller on a guinea pig?????

[Lifesgreat]

So what happens if you use a lint roller on a guinea pig?????

To quote the guinea pig "WHEEEEEEEEEEP!"

I learned the adhesive on lint rollers is strong enough to remove "unshedding" hair as well (at least on a little guinea pig), causing the guinea pig pain and distress and the user of the lint roller to be called a BAD PIGMASTER by the rest of the family :o

[Trek420]

remember to take M&Ms out of pocket before doing the laundry.

and your wallet.

[mimitabby]

this is an old one, but still holds true

Do not wash your 6 year old's clothing with his dad's dress shirts unless you are willing to stick your hands in their little pockets and pull out all the crayon pieces.

Men's dress shirts with vague colorful scribble crayon designs are useless and
the stains do not come out.

Can anyone guess why my sons learned to do their own laundry when they were still little?

[KnottedYet]

and your wallet.

and your cell phone. :o Going thru the dryer doesn't correct the damage from the washer...

[kelownagirl]

I washed and dried my debit card once and it was so shiny and new looking although a little warped. I didn't think it would work anymore but it did! I get strange looks from cashiers now because it looks a little funny...

[salsabike]

It doesn't?? Damn. You'd think....oh well.

I like this thread.

Too late!- JINXED!!! :eek: :eek: ;)

[DDH]

Don't come to a stop on your bike with your feet still clipped into your peddles and think you won't fall, unless you have great balance. :rolleyes:

[Wahine]

There is a big difference between the word amapola (poppy in European Spanish) and ama polla. BIG difference.


When learning to use platform pedals on your MTB bike, wear shin guards.

When learning to snowboard wear wrist guards.

LOL! Poor piggie.

Do guinea pigs really shed THAT much? I think there is more to this story that you aren't telling us, Pigmaster.

oh, no DON'T get into language!!!

in Italian Tetto is ROOF and TETTA is uh, T I T
and fico is fig and fica is I can't say that word for a girl part, sorry..but
you've all heard it, it's not very nice.
And italians think it is so darn funny when you confuse these things.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Oh yeah, been in the confusing language word scene!...
Like when I confused in Spanish majones (jeans) with mojones (sh*ts) I got some pretty weird looks. :eek: :cool: Sheesh, the trouble I got into when I was learning Spanish...don't remind me!

[Kitsune06]

Sing like no one's listening
Dance like no one's watching
Ride it like you stole it

...but not all at once.
Good mercy, not all at once.:p

[Trek420]

oh no, not language :D :eek: :eek:

then there's "we're happy to meet you" in American sign language...

[Duck on Wheels]

And here even the Norwegians are starting to have trouble. Kids these days can't say the kj/ky/ki-sound; they say it the same as skj/sj (sh). So now "Takk for kysset" (thanks for the kiss) comes out the same as "Takk for skysset" (thanks for the lift) ... which kinda puts a wet blanket over a budding relationship.

[Mr. Bloom]

:eek: :eek: While riding into the wind at 20mph, don't spit if your wife is following close behind you!:eek: :eek:

Almost happened today along the Ohio River...I caught myself just in time before giving Silver a shower!

[LBTC]

no matter what the situation is, don't let the border collie WIN. It's for his own good.

[rocknrollgirl]

Don't vacum the cat....

WHy can't the kids pronounce the words they've heard all their lives?

Isn't that kind of strange?

Boy, you are not kiddin'!!! My husband and I took an Italian language class in the fall and we were both petrified to speak because every time we did the instructor would chastise us for saying something dirty. Who knew there is only one n's difference between pen and penis and they have and anus?! And we were warned against asking for pizza in Southern Italy unless we'd like to get a beating. (He was from the south and really seemed to take it personally when we mangled the language).

[lizbids]

Your language teacher sounds like a real tool. :p
