Bad Advice Only (Author : admin)
« Sat Jun 03, 2006 - 11:15:02 »
Someone presents you with a problem, you give them bad advice and then you present your own problem. The next poster will present their bad advice.

example:

Q. I stubbed my toe, how can I get it to stop hurting?

A. Hit it with a hammer until you damage the nerves and the pain stops. Then you'll feel better.


OK, here's the first problem, can you give me some advice?

I accidentally crashed into my neighbors car and did a lot of damage. What should I do?

Cut down your neighbor's tree so it falls on the car to cover up what you did.

Take a hot bath, then lay on the heating pad... Whatever you do, don't go to the hospital!

Put it in your car and drive down the freeway.  Every time you pass a cop throw a big handful out the window.

Well that's obvious.  Cover it with black tape.  That's what my sister does when her engine light comes on.

Wear your bathing suit and flip flops -- then no one else will invite you.

(actually, with this wedding, that wouldn't matter.  It's in their front yard, and the dress will be extremely casual.)

Shave him, so his own fur won't make him sneeze, then roll him in flour and corn flakes.  Corn Flakes are good for whatever ails you.

I want to go on vacation, but I don't have the money.  What should I do?

Smash your thumb with a hammer.  That will make you forget all about your tendon.

Plant some marijuana among the dandelions.  Trust me, folks will forget about the dandelions.

Sign your child up for a boot camp in the desert.  It's time for him/her to grow up.

Take one of those sleeping pills with side effects that include dry mouth, vomiting, headache, nausea, constipation, irritability, failure to clot, blindness, athletes foot and gingivitis.

I feel like I deserve a BIG raise at work. What should I do?

Throw a tantrum about how they underappreciate you, then pretend to shred important documents as you "quit"...maybe they'll make you an incredible offer to stay.

Bag up the evidence of the dogs "activity" put the bag on the neighbors porch, light the bag on fire, ring the doorbell, and run away to hide and watch.  Lots-o-laughs!

Have your phone disconnected.  Sounds to me like it only causes problems, anyway.

Suscribe to their premium package so they can use the extra income to upgrade your connection.


The package of beef says it's three days past the sell by, what do you think?

Reset your electronic calendars to three days earlier, and dig in!

Shut off your water and start using an outhouse.  It's good enough for us hillbillies, so it should be good enough for everyone.  That fancy indoor plumbing's for rich people who can afford full-time handymen.

As a public service, I will also include advice to JMG3rd, typed while James was typing:  Those sell-by dates are nothing but propaganda from the meat industry encouraging people to throw out perfectly good beef and buy more.  It's documented that the banana industry used to do the same thing back in the fifties, by telling people that a brown spot on a banana peel meant that the banana was no longer edible.  Fight the power.  Eat the meat.  So what if it's a little green?  My old nutrition teacher said the more colors on your plate the better.

I'm guest-teaching an adult VBS class at a strange church Monday night.  Any advice?

Soap is pretty cheap, and it's sold in cakes.  Buy a cake, put it in the microwave just long enough to soften it, and put a candle in the middle.

About the subject matter for my VBS class:  I've been assigned the topic "How do we Know the Bible is From God?"  I've studied for weeks and have extensive research and notes, but I was wondering if anyone had anything to add that I might forget to include?

Put a sign at the curb what a snotty remark about how you're "going natural" or "testing organic gardening methods".

Switch to regular Coke.  Then you won't have to worry about artificial sweeteners killing you.

There are several possible options, but all the best ones involve an Uzi, a hand grenade, and a bucket of pickle juice.

I can't believe you can edit these posts after nine years.
