    Always carry around two empty bottles with you. Whenever anybody asks you to help them with something you can say "Sorry pal, I'm on my way to the bottle bank to drop these empty bottles off. Only for that I would."

    An empty cigar tube with a loose lid, filled with wasps makes a great practical joke to play on your other half.

    Reminds me of the Doctor joke...


    "A man and his wife are on a nude beach sunning themselves when a wasp accidentally flies up into the woman’s pussy. The woman screams to her husband what happened, in which he immediately wraps her in a blanket and takes her to a doctor. After examining the woman, the doctor decides that the wasp is too far in to be reached with the forceps, but he has an idea. "Try slathering your penis in honey, then having intercourse with your wife. Maybe that will attract the wasp into coming out far enough to be reached."
    The husband decides to try the idea, but because he’s so nervous, he can’t rise to the occasion. The doctor says that if neither of them objects, he will try. Given the severity of the situation, the couple agrees. The doctor immediately strips down, slathers on some honey, and mounts the woman. After several minutes of work, the husband asks the doctor what the hell he thinks he’s doing.

    "Change of plans..... I’m gonna drown that little bastard!!!!" "

    if someone tries to mug you, tell them that Jesus loves them! , it will totally freak them out and you can make your escape

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    If you have a fairly decent size front or back garden/yard paint a large blue 20ft x 15ft rectangle on it. It will look like you have a swimming pool to all those passing in aeroplanes and helicopters.

    When you pick your nose roll it between your thumb and flick it of your finger , it saves a lot of money buying tissues
