I think I will go down the hall to the animal room and let all the lab rats out. They are locked in there night a day and clearly need the exercise. The really expensive “nude" ones I will take home with me because they’re so cute. ---

“Time share in Orlando? Sounds intriguing. And you’ll give me a $25 Red Lobster gift card just for attending the presentation, even if I decide not to commit to the vacation plan that’ll pay for itself within ten years? Sounds great – I’ll be there Tuesday at 7 p.m. sharp!” ---

Always use violence as your first solution. It’s fast, easy, and fun ! Remember that girls like the bad boys; get an arrest record as soon as possible. Fire looks prettier the closer you are, so stand in that gasoline when you light it ! Adversity builds character; so always make sure that everyone around you has as tough a time as possible. Mislead them, steal or sabotage vital supplies, harass them; that sort of thing. Inform anyone who questions what you are doing by saying that it’s for their own good and why; you will be admired for your nobility of spirit. When working for Darth Vader, if you fail in a task immediately admit your error as quickly and forthrightly as possible. And apologize, he’ll accept it !
