Helpful Hints for Daily Life
1. They say that fish is brain food, so why not eat the smartest fish of all; the dolphin.
Studies show that eating one pickled dolphin brain a day can raise your SAT score by as many as three points.
2. Try trepanation; it releases pressure on the brain so more wisdom can fit in there.
3. Attach a couple of 9V batteries to a magnet and then run a wire to a knitting needle. Just jam the needle in your head and you’ll be using electro-mental powers in no time.
4. Wear a metal colander on your head. It helps focus mental radiation.
5. Use chemicals to break down the blood-brain barrier so you can let all your symbiotic parasites help with the thinking.
6. Try handy mnemonic devices. For instance you can remember the order of the first Ten Amendments to the Constitution as Only (one) Tumulous (two) Thoroughbreds (three) Fight (four) Fancy (five) Souped-up (six) Silverfish (seven) Every (eight) Night (nine) Tentatively (ten). Easy as pie.
7. You know the metal colander on your head that keeps in mental radiation? Cover it with
tinfoil, to help block out anti-mentation interference (AMI).
8. Try to imagine squares, circles, and triangles as three-dimensional objects.
9. Plug up your nose and ears with cotton balls to stop your knowledge from leaking out.
10. Try thinking harder.
The ABCs of NATO
For many years the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and its various military forces, have utilized a system whereby they substitute a common word for a letter of the alphabet in radio-graphic communication. This is meant to ease communication. But, I find that their word choices are a bit random and I don’t at all approve. Therefore, I would like NATO to adopt a new NATO, or phonetic alphabet. After all, we can’t have NATO forces supporting the drinking of whiskey, a known intoxicant.
Public Service Announcement
The home is obviously a dangerous place. So, as part of our court-ordered public awareness series, we will now explore way that you can protect your family from fire. Be wise lest you burn yourself alive, die in agony and leave this world with the stench of your own burning flesh fresh on the ol’ nostrils.
Fire loves oxygen, so it’s best not to pump your home full of a 100% oxygen mixture. Try as hard as you can to set the atmosphere in your home to 74% nitrogen, 32% oxygen and 2% argon and other trace gasses. Some methane or sulfur may be included from time to time.
You may wish to impress friends with your ability to drink a flaming shot of liquor. After several of these, you may think it a good idea to pour liquor on the table and set it on fire because it looks neat. This is not wise.
Although fire can harm vampires, it’s best to use holy water and stakes when in the home. If you absolutely must burn the undead, make sure to keep a fire-retardant blanket handy.
While your late aunt’s box of collected magnifying glasses sure is neat, installing them as a picture window and burning alive from the concentrated power of the Sun is not.
Smoking in bed is one of the leading causes of death in people who die in bed while smoking. If you absolutely must smoke in bed, try using a water-filtered hookah with an enclosed brazier. Make sure your sheets aren’t too frilly.
Convert your home to electric lighting. It is expensive, but safer than lining your walls with lit torches.
Should you happen to catch on fire, via spontaneous human combustion, that’d be weird, wouldn’t it?

Some Simple Steps
You Can Take to Ensure That People Will Leave You Alone
- Wear hats, excessively, ten or more at a time. Strap extra hats to your elbows for emergencies.
- Use a cell phone in public, hold long, detailed personal conversations about your various sexual deviancies, and talk only in Sign Language.
- Wear one outfit, ever. Never wash it, never change it, and make it entirely out of teddy bears.
- Invent your own gender, not a simple combination of the of the existing two. Invent your own social customs, clothing styles and secondary sexual characteristics.
- Collect Scrabble™ games, on video, at the tournaments. Watch nothing but these tapes when guests come over.
- Eat only tomatoes, from a bucket, that you carry around with you at all times.
- Go ahead and assume that anyone who talks to you is trying to hit on you. Never play hard to get.
- Write a guide book for cock fighting referees. Talk incessantly about the whistle chapter. Always make mention of your thorough index.
- Use only one means of transportation; a tricycle, but with a ski for a front wheel.
- Shave off all your hair, all of it. Collect it in little baggies and give them to anyone who tries to talk to you. Suggest a donation.
- Spend as much time as you can singing, your own songs, that you write about macaroni, sing them with a bullhorn.
- Bathe in gravy, in the park.
- If you have to fly, buy an extra seat for your wolverines, that you keep in a pillow case.
- Pay for everything in nickels. Cut them into fifths for correct change.
- Get a job in a slaughterhouse, take your work home with you, on the train.
- Cut “Peanuts” comics out of the newspaper, place them in your tefillin. Tell the Rabbi that you’ve converted to “Ultra-Reform.”
- Should anyone attempt to speak to you at a bar or restaurant, even the waiter, begin explaining the Bosporus to them. Have literature and visual aids ready.
- Spread rooster feathers in front of your path when you walk down the sidewalk.
- Wear sunglasses, at night, on your feet.
- Stuff your mouth full of olives, as many as you can, then attempt to eat your dinner.
