    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?

    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...

    I like this thread.

    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.

    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.
