Everyone around me is getting the Flu, this year it seams to be a nasty one.  
I have issues with accepting help, do not like others to see me sick, and do not want people to come and nurse me.

I live alone and have a fridge but no freezer, what would be smart preparations to make for a week of incapacitation?

Get all the “Chicken Soup” MREs you can get yer hands on and lots of water. (Don’t forget the crackers and ginger ale and the kitten food.) Put blankets, TV remotes and lots of sappy movies where you can reach them. And Kleenex. Lot’s of Kleenex. A Big plastic bowl nearby can come in handy, too.

I have the owner of Ticketmaster tied up in my living room. He’s already signed over his entire financial empire to me. Should I announce the new “Fair or Free” pricing policy before or after I turn him over to the angry mob outside?

After. Let them vent their long-suppressed rage on him before they hoist you to their shoulders in adulation.

I’ve been in the whaling biz for a long time, and for quite awhile have wanted to catch this particular whale. Some people think I’m obsessed with it, but they just don’t understand. Now I see this damned whale is swimming straight at my ship. We’re becalmed. What should I do? Need answer fast.

Find an extremely good looking young sailor with a speech impediment. Have him falsely accused of mutiny and have him lash out in anger and accidentally kill his accuser. Try him, convict him, strap him to the mast, and then execute him.

Remember you don’ t have to outrun the avalanche…you only have to out run the person next to you!

Take off your shoes and go into the closest bar. By the time the ‘something’ catches up with you, you’ll be drunk enough not to care.

There’s an undead dictator after me who wants to turn me into throw pillows. How do I get rid of him? Need answer fast, he’s got lockpicks and I’ve only two locks.

This happened to me a few years ago in Pittsburgh. I used one of the locks on a side door as a decoy, and the other lock I put in a sock. While he was picking the decoy, I socked him with the lock-in-sock, which knocked him out for 2 ticks. Enough time to grab his lock picks, onlock the decoy, and be off again, this time with 2 locks, pursued by an undead dictator with no lock picks.

Car is in a spin, do I tap the breaks lightly or accelerate through it? I could never remember which way is correct. Getting dizzy too.

Oh, you whining little-- walk it off. Jesus Christ.  
So, I accepted a contract job a few months ago and tomorrow’s my first day. My first order of business is to give a motivational speech, but it’s supposed to rain tomorrow. And? It’s _freezing_ outside. There is, of course, no place indoors big enough to house the crowd so I’m stuck delivering the speech outdoors. Maybe I should break down and use an umbrella, or at least wear a hat? Need answer fast, don’t actually own an umbrella, will need to run out and buy one.
