Tip 208: Con-men, bunco artists, prevaricators, nimmers, flim-flammers and thieves are not trust-worthy. However, they are a lot of fun to hang out with.

Tip 208: Con-men, bunco artists, prevaricators, nimmers, flim-flammers and thieves are not trust-worthy. However, they are a lot of fun to hang out with.
Tip 208: If you are out drinking, keep enough money for a taxi home folded into a very tight small bundle and hide it someplace on your person, in case you get mugged and your wallet gets stolen.
I've never heard of those. I'll have to look them up.Quote:

Of course having company can sometimes be better, but one shouldn't be afraid to go alone, or be alone, and agreed that sometimes it is easier not having to worry about someone you are with being uninterested, bored, etc. The only sad part of going alone is after the show... when there is no one around to exchange opinions with.
Good tip! Except that if you hide it too well, you might forget where you hid it while drunk... :)Quote:

TIP 209: If you are going to throw up in the cab on the way home, and you choose to do it in your purse, make sure you remove all of your stuff out of the purse, if possible, before doing so. :puke:
Tip 210: If you buy clothes from a charity shop, check that there isn't a name label sewn int the collar. If there is, it means that you've bought something donated from a nursing home when a "dribbler" has passed away.
(It's not the fact that it once belonged to a "dribbler", just that it means you have the same post lucidity fashion sense).
Tip 211: Don't sit next to two women during concerts. This way you avoid all sorts of 'jibber jabber' prior to the performance and during the interval. :nod:
If you can, also try to avoid sitting close to 'pseudo types' (usually men trying to chat up women)..."oh the Parthenon was so, so evocative, such a wonderful construction. Can you believe they had concrete in AD 150? Oh and Paris, yes Paris, wonderful, wonderful. We went there last year again and it was such a fabulous trip - such atmosphere".:frown2:
Tip 212: Avoid absolutes like 'never, ever, always'
Sure they weren't a pair of poofs?Quote:

tip #10. If you get a headache, hammer your big toe.
Tip #215: Sometimes it's worth the wait to ride in the front row of the roller coaster.
Agreed! I never use those and always, ALWAYS try to avoid them!Quote:

Don't sit next to two women anywhere except when it's unavoidable:jibber jabber being their raison d'etre. Unfortunately, it's not even possible to avoid senseless chatter from them even at a distance these days. Every few weeks I get my ear bent from one of them in New York and a couple of days ago another telephoned with the wonderful news that she can now get a cheap rate form the Swiss telephone service and will be calling me once a month henceforth. Don't you just love modern technology ?Quote:
