To
remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The
solvent dissolves adhesive.

a shot of vodka over an aching tooth allowing your gums to absorb
some of the alcohol to numb the pain.
Silly
you. You've only been drinking the stuff!
WATER
Who
knew?
75%
of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the
world population.)
In
37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken
for hunger.
Even
MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
One
glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100%
of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
Lack
of water, is the number 1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
Preliminary
research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly
ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
A
mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble
with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or
on a printed page.
Drinking
5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%,
plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%., and one is 50%
less likely to develop bladder cancer.
Are
you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?
COKE
Who
knew?
In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the
trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in
two days.
To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and
let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean.
The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with
a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola
over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the
rusted bolt for several minutes.
To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan,
wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before ham
is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the
Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the load of
greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The
Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road
haze from your windshield.
FYI
The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve
a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from
bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.
To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate), commercial trucks must
use HAZMAT (Hazardous Material) place cards reserved for highly corrosive
materials.
The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the
trucks for about 20 years!
Now the question is, would you rather consume a glass of water or that Coke stuff?
