"There are three things that Mr. Brady says he can't do:
A. Sing
B. Play a Musical Instrument
C. Juggle Oranges

"

D. And golf: it took him years and years of practice just to be bad!

"25. Peter's such a bad detective, he couldn't find an elephant in a bathtub!"

But before he realized how bad he was, he refused to "get lost" because he was such a good detective (or so he thought), he'd probably find himself!

1. When showing football plays, X's are for offense, O's are for defense. (Did I get that right?

)

3. In order to break a date, you just have to say, "Something suddenly came up."

Never make a bet with a sibling, you will always lose.

The girl is always the better driver.

If you think of your driving instructor in his underwear, you will be relaxed enough to pass the test.

Joining every single club in school is NOT how you become popular.

Never buy hair tonic from your brother before your graduation or your hair will turn orange.

Glasses will make you look positively goofy.

Braces will make you look like an electric can opener.

Hit sitcoms and cousins named Oliver never mix.

Hit sitcoms do not necessarily mean hit variety shows, dramas or cartoons.

Little witches named Endora look eerily like a little girl named Marcia Brady.

A surefire way of knowing you need your tonsils removed is sneezing a lot (?).

If you don't have a boyfriend, invent an imaginary one and no one will be the wiser.

The best way to get the boy of your dreams to like you is to learn everything there is to know about bugs.
