My friend Rami originally shared this with me, and I found this too funny. It is pretty much self explanatory.
You would think it was a three-year-old having a fit, but no, this guy is really going bonkers.

Eight Home Remedies You Should NOT Try
Here are some simple home remedies you should NOT try, even though they would seem logical with other things, so here they are.
Choking
If you are choking on an ice cube simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat. Presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself.
Cutting
Avoid cutting yourself slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold while you chop.
Restroom
Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink.
High blood pressure
For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.
Waking up with an alarm clock
A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
Coughing
If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.
Essential Tools
You only need two tools in life – WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn’t move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn’t move and does, use the duct tape
Two life lessons to remember:
Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
Some people are like slinkies. They are not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

100 Gallons
Today at work, I wanted to use the video camera in my G1 to show how fast an airplane can be fueled. This plane was heading to Japan from DFW, and ended up taking around 32,400 gallons of jet fuel.
I took a video of the fuel meter spinning for 100 gallons to see just how long it would take to add that small amount.
It ended up taking 11-12 seconds to add 100 gallons.
This was the final fuel-on-board weight – 234,300 lbs. That ain’t no joke when it comes to lifting that amount of fuel, passengers, luggage, and around 40,000 lbs of cargo on top of the 300,000 lbs of actual aircraft weight off the ground. That total is somewhere between 600,000 and 800,000 lbs total.
Big weight require big shoes too.
Just thought you might like to see that.
