Helpful Hints JOW #651



            

                This week I am passing on some wisdom from Tom, who offered these helpful hints.  I added a couple of quick ones, an unrelated joke that just came to me, and ended with a very punny story of lost romance.  Enjoy -

·         AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP them.
·         If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic.  Simply pour a jug of boiling water down your throat and presto! The blockage is almost instantly removed.
·         FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS.  REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.
·         A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.
·         Have a bad tooth ache? hit your thumb with a hammer. then you will forget about the tooth ache.
·         IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH. 
·         on the other hand, NEVER take a sleeping pill AND a laxative before you go to bed
·         Avoid arguments with the missus about lifting the toilet seat by simply peeing in the sink.

Avoid social blunders at weddings with these helpful hints
·         Though uncomfortable, say yes to socks and shoes for this special occasion.
·         Livestock usually is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
·         If you try to french kiss the bride, expect to get punched – by many people
·         Is it okay to bring a date to a wedding? Not if you are the groom.

Handiman hints:
·         YOU NEED ONLY TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE. 
·         IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

And, to reduce stress, remember Captain Woody’s Corollary:
·         NEVER RUIN A GOOD STORY WITH THE FACTS.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

·         Did you hear about the two men from the monastery who opened a fast-food seafood restaurant? One was the fish friar, the other was the chip monk.

·         Ironically, a man at a tool and die company died today when he was hit with a tool.
=====================

At a retirement home a banker, a lawyer, and three physicians attended a sales pitch by man who wanted to give these men professionally-themed final resting places.  He showed the lawyer how he could be interred beneath a judge’s bench with scales of justice on it. For the banker there was a stone vault embossed with a dollar sign.  When he discovered the first doctor was a cardiologist he showed a place of internment shaped exactly like a heart.
The gynecologist began laughing.
The proctologist left in disgust.

Finally a romantic story with a sad ending


Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other; they got married and had a little sweet potato, which they called 'Yam.' Of course, they wanted the best for Yam.
When it was time, they told her about the facts of life. They warned her about going out and getting half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and get a bad name for herself like 'Hot Potato,' and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots.
Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get her into the sack and make a rotten potato out of her! But on the other hand she wouldn't stay home and become a Couch Potato either.  She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring cousins.
When she went off to Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Potato told Yam to watch out for the hard-boiled guys from Ireland. And the greasy guys from France called the French Fries.
Yam said she would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldn't associate with those high class Yukon Gold's, or the ones from the other side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say, 'Frito Lay.'
Mr. and Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U. (that's Potato University) so that when she graduated she'd really be in the Chips. But in spite of all they did for her, one-day Yam came home and announced she was going to marry Tom Brokaw.
Tom Brokaw! Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset. They told Yam she couldn't possibly marry Tom Brokaw because he's just ......
A common tater !!
