I had the same reaction when I first heard this.

Try it.

i guess i was looking for an explanation as to why it is faster

OOT Life Trick: If you touch something hot (usually a plate after a few minutes from the microwave) and need to get rid of the heat on your finger, hold your ear lobe, like you're on timeout. Yes, hold your ear lobe. For some reason, the heat is gone. GO TRY IT!

is that some kind of fundamentalist mormon punishment?

Wow that couldn't be farther from the truth. My right to remain silent and right to have an attorney present applies in any and every situation when dealing with law enforcement. I don't know what constitution you live by but it sure isn't the same one I do.

If I am being questioned by law enforcement for ANY reason, whether I'm arrested at the time or not, I have the right to have an attorney present and have the right to remain silent. Ask any attorney that. Especially any criminal defense attorney. That's why any half brained attorney will tell you NEVER talk to the police without an attorney present.

Wait, you mean everyone doesn't already button up their shirts from the bottom up? My mind is blown.

^^ I was thinking the same thing.

if you have to go no. 2 in a public bathroom/work light a couple of matches after you are done and let them burn down. the fire smell is moreprevalent because we fear it.

Protip - live within your means and not have to do this.

When using unsliced bread, apply your butter / spread before cutting a slice. Most people look at me like I'm a freak doing it this way, but it's easier especially with cold butter.

Thanks for the ted.com tip

I'm proud of my smell, why would I want to mask it?

Got me a fogless mirror, electric toothbrush, and tongue scrubber. All are awesome. Ty, OOT.

no, i'm only 47, and my circle of acquaintances is not all that large.
things happen.

most hernias occur when doing something stupid like lifting a heavy box, then trying to kick a rug or something out of your way.

I dunno what you guys were crackin' your eggs on before but i find flat surfaces so much worse...
