Tip #1:

I too thought #14 was not good. Churches are actually a pretty good place to go to and religion is mostly not a bad thing up until you are convinced you should strap a bomb to your back and go shoot a bunch of people. Otherwise, good stuff.

Wonder what the consensus would be for posting on the USMB, let alone moderating it.

I think that this is my favorite tip of all...........................

Church is dangerous. That’s where my syncopal patients come from. They go to church, they faint, they fall, they break a hip. Bars are safer.

My favorite is #39: Don't fry bacon naked.

Bacon is best naked. Who wants it covered with hairy pig skin?
