    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.

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

    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

    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?
