I think you're learning irony the hard way.

Any way back on topic, my little cousin learned that while on a swing using a stick is a poor method of making yourself go higher. He pushed, he went up, it got stuck in the ground, he came down.....!!!. Got him right in the scragglers. Trip too hospital and a few stitches later he knew how not to do it. He did take great joy in showing us his cool new scar though which , though really funny, was a little odd and embarassing for his parents.

Never drink water out of the freezer when hung over.

never put soluble pain killers in water from freezer.

Never trust a mate who just drank water from the freezer.

WHY!!

Water should freeze Vodka Dosen't.

I took it out of the freezer put it in a glass and added pain killers then proceeded to drink like a thirsty camel.

This was repeated ten minutes later with the glass containing the painkillers.

Decided that someone had to join in my pain so handed the bottle to my also thirsty mate.

Razor blades are very sharp and never interfere with an electrical component with a conductive element and when in playing in parents room in daddys drawer don't put a round rubber thing in your mouth,

but later in life to your shock and then relief you will realise headaches have their fortunate side too.

Dont rewire new sockets pissed and with the trip switch still on.

Dont cycle downhill on a steep slope with no brakes drunk.

Never hand feed baby Tarantulas--still have the bite marks.

Dont pick up Tarantulas without knowing if theyre calm or not--likewise still have the bite marks,only this one had half inch long fangs.

I thought they were calm pretty much all the time? They don't bite all that often though, do they?

Most bites are caused by "SFE`s"

Stupid Feeding Errors--Ie putting yer hand in the cage when theyre hungry.In the case of the baby it wasnt eating so I decided to feed it using a long tweezers.It jumped,landed on my hand and sunk a fang in.
The other bite happened when I put my hand after handling crickets.

Haven't read the thread so apologies if this is there already, but the most recent thing I have (re)learned the hard way is:

Cut away from your fingers........

When you're a kid, and an older kid calls you a name that you don't know - don't try it out at home - Ma your a cnut :eek:

When you go to a teen disco, and your "Da" is forced to pick your up afterwards - when normally he does fcuk all - be aware that in the presence of other parents he will attempt to make himself seem like a good parent by hopping up and down and waving and shouting your name - LOUD. This was over 20 years ago - I'm still not over it...

I've never learned to drive because my 'ol lad "gave" me my first lesson.

If you happen to be single, and your friends ask you out to dinner, and you ask who is going and you hear something like, Paul and Donna, Simon and Lisa, Michelle and Richard, oh, and Barbara - ah you know Barbara - to quote Admiral Ackbar from ROTJ - "Its a trap!"

don't walk in your bedroom barefoot with up turned sockets about.

when camping in the country side, never piss on a fence especially the electric kind.

Your obviously a tall or heavy well built person. The average person wouldnt mind stepping on a socket as much as someone weighing 14 1/2 stone.

First thing that comes to mind is that it's a seriously good idea to take a year out between school and college, to work/travel/relax.

gaeilgegrinds · 22-05-2008 10:15PM

Never trust men that hunt in packs. A man should be able to approach you on their own.

Less is more regarding make-up but not clothes.

A beautiful body can be even more beautiful when left a mystery.

Money is not important, unless you don't have it.

True friends don't need to be told when something is wrong.

Mothers are always right.

Dads can smell ass-holes a mile off.

Never, ever jeopardise a friendship for a relationship.

Pouting, despite what Mrs.Beckham may think, is NOT attractive. Smiles melt hearts.
