Avoid the bends. Just drive on the straight roads.

Tell the judge it's easy to manipulate digital images, show him the picture you made of his head on the body of a chicken and tell him you might have "accidentally" e-mailed it to the BAR Association.



I'm being falsely accused of polygamy by my three wives. What should I tell them?

Tell them to move in together in a commune. Then they can support each other in their grief of not being married to you. Makes it easier for you also, as you now have them gathered at the same place.

Jump in the back seat and cover the drivers eyes while saying "guess who?" in Portuguese.
