Practical Survival Guide For The ConfusedA Story by Earl SchumackerHow ro find harmony in your confusionPractical Survival Guide For The Confused
Buy a happy meal without the fries for a less pleasurable experience (but at the same or more price.) You should never be too happy when mundane will suffice.
You
do not own a car (because we said so), so buy collision
insurance for one half of your body. (The side less used.) Equip
battle gear and armor for the other half just in case and just
because and to be on the safe side.
Suicide is not advisable when living in the moment or while asleep.
Don’t drink and drive. Don’t drive and drink. Come to think of it, don’t do anything. Don’t think.
When
you cross the street look one way. UP. When you walk into
traffic you will never see what hit you. If you look both ways people
will think of you as being stupid because you are shaking your head.
When you shake your head left and right it signifies “no.” (No is
not advisable under any circumstances.)
Keep a glass half full. The other half should be kept empty. A broken glass is of no use but it depends on what was in it to begin with.
Squeeze toothpaste at the end. (Never from the middle.) Don’t squeeze too much or people will think you are lovers or just plain weird.
Use yellow mustard on hot dogs. If you use any other kind your ducks will quack. Your children will cry (but don’t beat them.) Your wife will leave you. (especially after what you have done to the toothpaste and after all, she uses brown mustard which is cause enough for divorce.
When jumping from a plane at high altitudes crossing over the Grand Canyon, never detach your parachute in mid flight going down. That speaks for itself. Gravity speaks even louder. Ouch!....Thud!...followed by death or something more serious.
Use the power of persuasion to influence people other than yourself. Talk in complete sentences. Make sure someone is there to hear you. Use words. Words are important when communicating.
Remove
yourself from reality. It is as easy as changing a light bulb where
one person holds the bulb up and two other people turn the center
person clockwise until the light is secured in the socket. If you
live in the southern hemisphere you might have to rotate the
individual counter clockwise. (Check the manual for security.)
Use a rifle when hunting. (Use bullets for best results.) Don’t shoot with your eyes closed. Don’t kiss with your eyes open. Don’t open your mouth or a bug will fly in.
If you have any questions stop right there. Don’t be rude. This is a practical guide for the confused. We are not your mother. Call her if you need answers or someone to tie your shoes. You will never be confused if you wear a pair of shoes and walk into the traffic in the middle of the night to see the pretty shiny lights hanging up their pretty shiny in delight.
