Disclaimer: This was just a stupid, silly idea I came up with while I was supposed to be doing Math (hee hee). I have nothing against theater death cam-dressing rooms! Theater dressing rooms. Heh heh heh. Aaanywho, on with my happy little disclaimer.
I have never worn rubber gloves in public...well, um...except for that one time...*clears her throat nervously* But that's beside the point!
I only laugh at and taunt ice cubes when they hit my nose. I have never electrocuted myself...on purpose...
Aherm, anywho, if you have anything to add to this list, (please, please, please, PLEASE!) feel free to send it to me at zippywonderpest@StCanard.zzn.com.
