My Brain Peanuts Thinks Up Some Common Sense Tips


Hello Dear Readers.  I thought it might be helpful to post a short list  of common sense tips that my brain, Peanuts, just thought of.

Don’t worry about your spleen.  Nobody ever said on their death-bed, “I wish I would have worried about my spleen.”

 "Let's see, 101 signs your spleen might be malfunctioning . . ."

“Let’s see . . . 101 signs your spleen might be malfunctioning . . . oh I need to read these! “

If someone in your family is set on becoming a human cannonball, keep a mirror and a helmet handy so you can show them how stupid they will look to others.

Slit your car tires every night before you go to bed so that when you wake up in the morning there won’t be any flat tire surprises.

Did you remember to slit the tires?No, it's your turn, I did it last night!

Did you remember to slit the tires?
No, it’s your turn, I did it last night!

Never allow anyone to act out the poem Lizzie Borden Took an Ax on family fun night unless you are absolutely certain the ax is inaccessible and there’s no liquor in the house.

Always test out your  “experimental arsenic cookies” on the hamster first, and be sure he’s actually dead before going to all the trouble of serving them to in-laws.

"Maury? . . .  Maury?  Can you hear me Maury?"


“Maury? . . . Maury? Can you hear me Maury?”

Always keep a copy of Robert Rules of Order on you at all times to avoid the embarrassment of walking up to take the witness stand in a crowded courtroom when it’s not your turn.

Never engage in a conversation with a chatty robot before you know the location of their off switch.  (The same holds true for husbands.)

"Yes. it. is. a. nice. day. There. have been 17823 days. very. similar. to. a. day. like. today. in. the. past. 100. years. starting. with. a. Thursday. on. April. 17. 1912. and. then. again. on . . . "

Just make it a policy to never operate on friends. Period. End of story.

Listen Marge, it's not that I don't want to take out your spleen, it's just that you're a friend of mine and I have this policy . . . sorry . . . .

Listen Marge, it’s not that I don’t want to remove your spleen, it’s just that you’re a friend of mine and I have this policy . . . sorry but period end of story.

Until next time . . . I love you

  1. Slash neighbour’s tires, gotcha!

  2. So, I’ve been protecting my spleen for no reason?

    Damn.

  3. You left out “never fight a land war in Asia”.
    Anyone? Anyone?

  4. Peanuts has better common sense tips than my brain. My brain thinks things like “It’s wise to ask the neighbors for the filibuster referral in case of a fire” before I fall asleep every night.

  5. well isn’t peanuts interesting. all this time i’ve been worrying about my…ummm…my, what’s that thing between our things that holds up glasses?

  6. Hi,
    A great post. I loved the robot, I could actually picture this happening, and a person standing in front of the robot looking totally bewildered. :D

  7. Haha! I’m with Peanuts, I like the idea of slitting the tires each night. I don’t know anyone who likes a flat tire surprise in the morning.

  8. Another great exercise is to break the garage window and take the trouble of doing it away from burglars having their hearts set on breaking and entering.
