if you drive 100 miles at 100 mph compared to 60 miles an hour you get there in an hour instead of 1 hour 40 min = saving gas duh

Contrary to popular belief, it's perfectly fine to use you phone while pumping gas.

Just the tip...

Not sure why everyone includes this as a negative. I married a woman that does this and it was the best decision of my life.


And her mouth is clean.

It helps if you pretend there are 100 doors to start. You choose one, he then eliminates all the wrong ones and leaves just 2 (the one you picked and one more). There is a pretty good shot that you did not pick the correct door from the beginning, so it's obvious that the other door is the correct one.

Same concept when you only start with 3 doors, but the odds are just a little better that you would choose the correct one from the beginning (33% chance vs 1%).

Religion matters

Dude at work told me if you shoot tanerite up close it won't go off because the bullet doesn't have enough time to build up speed. I told him bullet velocity is the highest at the muzzle...he still believes they gain speed the further they go.
