1. hang out in a barbershop long enough,
you're gonna get a haircut.

just because you're a beaver, don't mean a tree can't fall on you.

22. Corollary...
Pay attention to what you are putting in your eyes in the morning.

About once a year I squirt my eyes with my peroxide cleanser instead of my saline. Ouchy!!!

13. Hike the Grand Canyon
It's a bit of a cliche but it really is awe inspiring. Just don't be a typical tourist. Step off the sidewalk and walk down to the Colorado River. It's only 18 miles round trip, a pleasant stroll.

Just sayin'.

24. Advice: it's really not a good idea to use a sharp knife to open
stubborn packaging.

You'll realize this a nanosecond before you discover you really CAN bleed like a stuck pig.

34. Never open a huge bag of Skittles in the loft of your house.
The bag WILL explode and launch those suckers everywhere. Five years later when you sell the house and move out, you will still be finding them.
