Walt's Laws of Self-Preservation
(Rigorously field-tested by the author)
- 1. Don't ever try to crawl through the little gap separating Heaven hyperspace
and Purgatory Kitchen hyperspace. I don't care who you are, you don't
fit. You will get stuck. You will rip your clothes. You will bleed.
- 2. Don't throw bagels at waiters.
- 3. If you must throw a bagel at a waiter, throw it whole. Don't cut it in
half and throw each piece separately.
- 4. Never explore the SAC hyperspace without a flashlight.
- 5. Never explore the SAC hyperspace without a flashlight you know you can
trust. Violation of this law can lead to unintentional violation of
rule #4.
- 6. When in doubt, push the button rather than applying torque.
- 7. Don't fly from LAX, to Florida with a stopover in Detroit, especially
in December and January. Your actual flight schedule and the
schedule printed on your ticket will bear only the faintest trace of
resemblance to each other. (This rule tested twice. Found to be
fully in effect each time.)
- 8. Don't eat the Jell-o until you're sure you know what's in it.
- 9. Don't drink lots of chunky hot salsa mixed with water unless you know
you like V-8.
- 10. Never, ever splash a gob of burning rubber lab glove onto your hand.
- 11. Be sure not to krazy-glue your finger to the phone bill.
- 12. Never sleep on sawdust. You'll regret it in the morning.
If you have additional rules of self-preservation, send them to me. Maybe I'll
test them for myself, and then again maybe not.
