     1. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not
        strong enough to rotate a 42-pound boy wearing pound puppy
        underwear and a superman cape.


     2. It is strong enough, however, to spread paint on all four
        walls of a 20-by-20-foot room.


     3. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "Uh-oh," it's
        already too late.


     4. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.


     5. A six-year-old can start a fire with a flint rock even though
        a 36-year-old man says they can only do it in the movies.


     6. If you use a waterbed as home plate while wearing baseball
        shoes it does not leak - it explodes.


     7. A king-size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000

     8. Legos WILL pass through the digestive tract of a
        four-year-old.


     9. Super glue is forever.


    10. McGyver can teach us many things we don't want to know.

        still can't walk on water.

    13. VCRs do not eject PB&J sandwiches even though TV commercials
        show they do.


    14. Always look in the oven before you turn it on.


    15. The fire department has at least a three-minute response
        time.


    16. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earth
        worms dizzy.


    17. It will, however, make cats dizzy.


    18. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
