There was a long discussion about this a few years ago. The resounding opinion was loofahs are the nuts. Many women chimed in and said they could tell the difference between a loofah'd man and a soap one, and they all preferred the former.

I'm pretty surprised at the lack of electronic meters tbh. I haven't really driven in those cities in years and had just assumed it was standard now. Weird.

I'm not sure if this works in arcades anymore, but when I was younger it did. Tie a very thin piece of string (dental floss?) to a quarter. Insert the quarter into the arcade and then when it credits just pull the string (and the quarter) back out and repeat.

people who dont use wash clothes are gross.



you arent supposed to brush your tounge as it spreads the germs causing bad breath around, rather than getting rid of it. Get a tough scraper, it is awesome.

Not sure if this is common knowledge of not, but everyone I run across really likes this simple idea me and a college roommate came up with for taking straight shots without tasting the alcohol too much.

Take your chaser and put some in your mouth. Then, while holding the chaser in your mouth, take the shot and drink it all down at once. Follow up quickly again with your chaser after swallowing and the taste/sting is drastically reduced. This works especially well for those who don't like shots or if you have particularly foul tasting liquor. It is almost like making a mixed drink in your mouth, but with the efficiency of shots!

If you ever notice your bread is moldy, just eat around it you wont even notice

Use "I can't believe it's not butter!", you won't

If you need clothing in a pinch, take a trip to the laundromat and pick and choose the best pieces from unsuspecting dryers.

When eating a sammich just use a paper towel, this makes the cleaning process much easier.

Generally if you want to make friends, be very complimentary of their skills or stroke their ego. IE. I told my friend he was jacked after he came back from the gym and he seemed to really like the compliment. (no ****) This however does not work with females.

Being a nice guy only works on women. College girls and high school girls mostly like the jerks.

When eating at my campus, to avoid dirty cups or plates i generally take the one underneath the top one, since its less exposed to the air... maybe I'm just paranoid?

If you have acne make sure to not touch your face at all and you will see a big difference.

Getting 8 hours of sleep is really important, and if you want to be healther overall this is probably the most important thing you can do.

The human body is very adaptive and takes a lot of abuse.

Most women just want to be genuinely be listened to, and if you do this you can pretty much get away with murder as long as you actually pay attention. Also admitting your wrong is a huge advantage in that women can't continue to nag on you since you've admitted you were wrong leaving them speechless.

You can really tell how people feel about certain things simply by watching their face. Most people lie a lot.

If someone lies they almost always blink a little bit longer as they say their lie. If they turn away from you they are almost always lying. If they try too hard to look directly at you they are also probably lying.

Most of your high school and college friends will not be your friends after you graduate college. Finding livelong friends is very rare.

Taking philosophy in school was probably the most eye opening experience in understanding life and the way things are.

Everything you do or don't do does make a difference in someway or another.

people who can't stand the taste of liquor so much that they need chasers, and then they need to have these ways of drinking like having the chaser in their mouth first and then taking the shot, are really weird to me. it's like half a second. just drink it.

- When you take a taxi to town for a night out, ask driver if he is on shift the entire night, if he says yes tip handsomely and ask if you can call direct when you need a taxi for laters. It's esp handy if you plan on bringing a girl home, taxi queues can be a killer for the mood. Remember to ring some time in advance, in case he has customers.

- If you're ever wondering if the bus is late or already left, the number of other people on the platform is a good indicator.

- If you get pulled over by the police, don't say anything. You'll either just incriminate yourself for something he/they don't have proof for or you'll say something he has heard a thousand times before.

- If you are angry, counting backwards from 10 will vent the worst of it.

- Orgasms can cure hiccups.

- If you are in a hurry, relax, it will save you time.

- If you are doing last night studying, afford yourself some 15 minute naps now and then, it will make you remember stuff better. Remember to have a really powerful alarm clock.

Grunching but when you are filling your car with gas, always close the gas cap to a minimum of five or six 'clicks'. This supposedly cuts down on oxygen finding its way in there and making your 'check engine' light go on. Don't know if there's any science behind that but its been working infallibly for me since I started doing it.

Say you have a cable provider (Comcast etc) that have limited time pricing like $30/mo for the first 6 months then $60/mo after. If you call them when your limited time pricing is over and tell them that you have found another carrier for cheaper then their "regular" price they will extend your cheaper price for you. I have used this EVERYTIME with a 100% success rate!

Oh, and if you are ever smoking a cigar and drinking at the same time, always make sure you sip on the drink until the cigar is almost done and kill both at the same time.

If it flies, floats or fooks, it's cheaper to rent than own.


Lock your toothbrush in the safe when you stay at a hotel. That way you know the housekeeper isn't cleaning the toilet with it.

Put your retirement fund in a fixed indexes annuity. It captures some of the market gain, but will never have a loss.

WTF. How are you getting the mayo out of the jar? Oh, you're spending more for a squeezable jar so you don't have to use a knife.....

I''m not at all douchy with them. I keep the do not disturb sign on the door if I am there for three nights or less.

But if you're the type who wants his room cleaned every day and you don't leave a tip out for each time the housekeeper makes your bed, then you need to put your toothbrush away from the maids' reach or you may find it has the flavor of toilet water.

ps. thanks for the insta-call. How big of a douche are you to assume I am one?
