Always take a couple shots of vodka before a job interview.  This makes you more relaxed and friendlier and the interviewers like that.  If you're worried about the smell of alcohol on your breath, offer them a shot as well.

Forgot a condom? A Ziploc bag will do in a pinch.  Also, if you prefer going bareback, a mouthwash douche is a great alternative to the morning after pill and has the added benefits of a fantastic tingling feeling and leaving you feel minty fresh.

If you're in a pinch, soldering irons make for great curling irons. 

If you have two soldering irons, they make great practice swords for your kids.  If you turn them on, they have the added benefit of letting you definitively know when contact is made so you don't have to listen to your kids arguing about who got who.

Key ingredient,  CANNED CORN..    Literally, the USA is like giving this stuff away,  not to needy countries, but to itself @ your local food store..

You can get 6 cans sometimes for 25cents.

Yea, it's 25 cents because it's literally pig food. Canned corn is disgusting but probably efficient at supplying nutrients while surfing the web.

Rice and corn each have incomplete amino acid chains, but together they form complete proteins.

This one is actually true BTW.

Seriously though, if it is out of your control, don't worry about it.  Just deal with it and move on.

Problem is , rice goes bad, because it's not actually completely dry..

I wonder if they make dehydrated canned rice powder.. or maybe just canned wheat flour..

but.. u know,, rice for the gluten free crowd.   (http://i.imgur.com/2lBKPsc.gif)

If you are stressed and need to drive for long, drink some alcohol to relax.

About 10 years ago I had a friend like this. He would show up at my place(~40min drive) with a 6-pack minus two and a nearly empty beer in his other hand.

I'd all ask him, "what the hell is this ****?!"

"Well, It's a long drive. I gotta do something to pass the time."

He would drive out to my place and hang out for up to 30mins, then suddenly stand up and exclaim, "Welp! I'm outta here!" and walk out the door.

He finally stopped that stupid **** and was luckily able to avoid accidents during those days. Did finally pick up that DUI though. haha.

Pro tips:

Play with matches. It can be just as exciting as the news depicts.

At the same time in large quantities for best results.

If you feel sick in the car, put ice packs (cubes in plastic wrap if on a budget) in your pants.

The sensation will calm your body and relieve motion sickness.

Alternatively this method is great for clearing your head on awkward dates, job interviews, and weddings!

If you're committing a crime, call in a phony major crime on the other side of town first. This will put the cops as far away from you as possible.

If you work in a small-ish office and you need a big poo, when you go to the toilet gently place some folded up toilet paper in the toilet to break its fall and mitigate the 'shock and awe'.

Or stand on the bowl to poop, let all the office hear the almighty turd you released, and scream victory.

If you work in a small-ish office and you need a big poo,
squat on the toilet seat. It is a much more efficient posture for defecating than just sitting.
