Lazy People's Tricks.

Whatcha got?
Our washer and dryer are in the basement. When the furnace/AC is running I can't tell if the dryer has stopped. So I put a quarter in with the loads.

I'm not lazy.
However, when I worked in aerospace, I got the real-time programmer to automate any test that I could. I almost got stuck taking insertion loss measurements of some polarized subreflector panels, measurements that would have taken months. The automated setup reduced test time by a factor of 8. There was always more work to do that didn't involve rote data-taking.

Leaving behind no evidence saves time and money.
- No expensive lawyers
- No trials
- No bribing police/prison guards/judges/kitchen staff.

Finger down the throat used to get me out of a lot of things I didn't like.
Until some of them caught on. Then I had to clean also.

Hello, is this the IRS? I'd like to report a person who has inadvertently admitted to laundering money!

I’ve learned to pick up things with my feet. Including the dog’s toys! I can throw the ball or play tug of war with their rope. People look at me funny when I do that though...

I can lay on my bed watching TV, and throw the tennis ball down the hall for my Jack Russell to fetch. Of course that means the ball gets all goozy and marks the wall. Every--now-and-then I need to wipe down the wall with damp cloth.

But the prep is a bitch. So it's usually better to just call the whole thing off.

I sit down to pee (at home only) these last few years. No need to aim anymore....
When out, it's too much work to disinfect the seat just for a pee...
