According to Kim and Aggie you can put your dishcloth in the dishwasher as well as in the washing machine. I tried it last night and it worked.

You can save money on batteries for your doorbell, by taking them out, and then going to the door every two or three minutes to see if there's anyone there.

You can tame budgies and parrots easily by replacing their grit with iron filings. By holding a large magnet, they will sit hapilly on your hand for hours.

Old people:- If you feel cold indoors this winter, simply pop outside for ten minutes without a coat. When you go back inside you will really feel the benefit.

Never throw a brick straight up.

Don't put your finger between the nail and the hammer.

Paint will "take out" all color of wine stains.

When cooking spaghetti, tie all the ends together. That way you can eat it in one long suck, eliminating the drudgery of washing up knives and forks.

A handy hint: you can impress your friends by taping the BBC TV Quiz show "Mastermind", and memorising all the correct answers. Then, when they come round, play the recording back, but don't tell them it's a recording, just act as if it's on TV now for the first time.

Then watch their faces as you correctly beat all the contestants to the right answers, and make smart remarks such as "Fancy not knowing that - this is supposed to be his specialist subject, the idiot", etc.

Don't let someone else reload for you.

Demand written proof that she's over 18.

Never eat at a place called "Mom's".

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
