Go ahead. Post your bad advice here.
Something like...

"Always test an electrical outlet by putting a metal fork in it. Handle first."

or

"Always buy stock from a company that has filed for bankruptcy. More often than not, they will recover."

Go ahead. It's your turn.

15. She won't mind
because she has agreed to getting a divorce as soon as the kids are out of school. 'Other women' fall for this one all the time. Like any wife would wait until child support is no longer court ordered. Sheesh.

2. Here's a good one:
If you suspect a natural gas leak in your house, be sure to light a match to see which direction the leak is coming from.

4. Always buy the stock mutual fund with the best performance for the prior
year, but only if its expense ratio is above 1.5%. Also, make damn sure you pay a high commission on the trade.

20. Press every button. One of them must work.
Tug on Superman's cape.

Pester the bear cub. Its mother probably isn't around.

Go away and stare directly into the sun.

And with thanks to the spousal unit, vote republican.

21. When being chased by LAPD, yell "you'll never take me alive!"
When confronted by 5 Crips in a parking lot, say "Gangs are for wimps and losers."

You can save a lot of money by making your own sushi at home.
