…how to fall asleep during the most action-packed movie.

…I cut meat like a six-year-old.

…a leg will spasm at the exact moment the needle pierces skin.

…how to lean against a wall to pull up pants.

…I will never work on a NASCAR pit crew.

…to avoid a pillow-top mattress.

…a bib would be nice.

…soap-on-a-rope is a fine idea.

…the more worn-out the shoes, the better.

…not to complain as others have it worse.
