· Unless you are planning to feed all of China, you probably only need to plant 1 zucchini plant in a small garden.

· Even if you think you are being smart by not driving after a night at the Legion, riding a bike is probably not a good choice either.

· It is really not a good idea to see how fast you can spin a paint roller full of paint.

· Washing your favorite white sweatshirt with something new and really red kind of spoils it....however, if you add it to load with new blue jeans the next week, you will have a nice gray sweatshirt rather than the pink one you ended up with the previous week.

· Do not let go of the throttle on the snow mobile when you are in mid-air after going over a jump, especially if you are trying to impress your friends.

· When you hand a service man a coupon for an oil change, it might be prudent to make sure the name on the coupon matches the name of the store you just walked in to.  It especially helps to take note of where you dropped your vehicle off when it comes time to pick it up again.

· "Pickin' On The Beatles" will probably never ever make Casey Kasem's top ten lists.

· Do not pick up the little muffler that fell off the riding lawn mower as you pass it on the next round.

· Older brothers may not have the best intentions when the call the big dog that you are walking, so remember to let go of the leash.
