If you know the length of each of your fingers as well as your handbreadth in centimeters, you can measure the leaves of most plants without having to pull the ruler out of your backpack. And when doing botanical work in South America, steer clear of the monkeys: They will throw sticks at you with surprising accuracy. Juggler With any routine under seven minutes (which is almost all of them), you only really need one thing: a good closer. And there are only two things you really need to know about a great closer. First, it needs to be impressive. That sounds obvious, but most beginning jugglers think “difficult” and “impressive” are synonymous. Your closer must look hard, but there’s no real reason it has to be hard. Secondly, you should intentionally blow your closer on the first two tries. If you get it on the first try it looks too easy, but if you “miss” it a few times it looks harder and builds tension. Waitress When you realize you have forgotten to submit an order to the kitchen, go to the table and mournfully say, “Did you just hear that crash?” Nine times out of 10, the customers not only will say “yes,” but actually will believe they just heard a noise of some sort. You can then sigh sadly, and say, “Unfortunately, that was the chef dropping your food,” and then scurry back to the kitchen to hand in the neglected order.
Kind of interesting. The thing is though, I'm sure everyone in the respective industries already knows these tricks. Ah yes! The good old eye-dee-ten-tee (id10t) error. Here are some I don't agree with: "Impressive" varies by audience. If you're at a juggling convention, and everybody there is a juggler, then "difficult" usually does mean "impressive." If you're going to intentionally mess up, you have to be really careful in how you do it, or else it will look like you screwed up on a really easy trick. A better thing to do is just to build up to it with other tricks. That's what code-inspection meetings are for. That's what glass-box testing is. This idea of looking through the comments is by no means revolutionary.
The following has saved me from police hassle at least 3 times. Living in Cyprus, I get stopped by the police for speeding / noisy exhaust / driving up a wrong way street. They ask for my licence; I say, 'I don't have it with me...in England you don't need to have it with you'. Cop looks confused and asks if I'm on holiday from England and I say, yes. They let me go.
America is really retarded, you have to have your license with you at all times, God knows how many times I have been in trouble cause of that. As a foreigner you would think they would pardon you, but oh no.
why should they pardon someone for being a foreigner? You're driving in america, follow american driving laws! If I were driving in the UK, I'm expected to follow UK driving laws. same goes for any law in any area. When you are there, you follow the local laws.
No matter what field you are in, don't break the law, don't be an ass, and save all of your email/snailmail in an easy to search way. ALL OF IT. And get EVERYTHING in writing.
