Some modern truisms regarding everyday life
- The amount of time you make your dog wait before giving it a biscuit is directly proportional to the number of fingers it will bite off. Waiting over one minute may also lead to the loss of an arm.
- It takes approximately seven minutes for the floor to become as dirty as it was just before you vacuumed it.
- The further you eat into a packet of crisps, the tastier they become, the very last one being the most flavoursome.
- The optimum number of beer cans to place in the fridge is four: any fewer and they will have been consumed before you return from work, any more and they will have been removed to make way for milk and eggs.
- Grocery shopping always ends up costing more than you budgeted for, especially if you claim to be on a diet.
- There is a direct correlation between the time it takes to close all windows in your house and the number of bluebottles in your kitchen.
- No matter how long you pick at them, it is impossible to completely remove the bitter, stringy parts from the edible part of a banana.
- You will still be annoyed by the fact BBC decided to screen The Apprentice at the same time as the crucial Champions League qualifier, even though you have Sky+ and know perfectly well how to use it.
- Crazy people at football/rugby matches are evenly spread throughout the stadium so it is guaranteed that you will have your day spoiled by one.











only four cans of beer? but if you kick the vegetables out you can fit more than 4 cans of beer in the drawers… I think they’re called crispers or something
