Plane not cutting too well despite just honing the blade? Put a few streaks across the sole with a candle and your plane will really glide across your timber.

When stuck behind a learner motorcyclist, honking your horn, flashing your lights and gesticulating like an epileptic experiencing both a fit and 240 volts passing your scrotum will not help in getting you on your way any quicker.

In fact it will lead to the learner motorcyclist having a bit of a panic and forgetting how to do a hill start after a stall, then going on a deliberate go-slow up the hill.

If a pregnant lady wishes to give birth you should lay her on her back with her legs in the air and entice the baby out by waving a rattle near the end of her skirt.

Save time when crossing a one way street by only looking towards oncoming traffic.

When playing the 'Wake your friend up with a spatula' game- make sure the spatula isnt a metal one.

Metal ones hurt and may have the unwanted side effect of being ****ted by said friend......

Save money on expensive beehives by stealing a bee from your neighbor's hive, one per night.

Going away for a few weeks, but worried dirty crooks will break in and ride away on your beloved stead. Just use some muckoff; spray on thoroughly, wait a few minutes then rinse off with plenty of water, in a mearly 24 hours all moving parts will sieze and rust solid, completely immobalizing the bike, making it virtually impossible to ride away on.
