I wish someone were around to take care of me; I feel really sick.

Accidentally leaving my 3 mW phone on during the flight didn’t mess with the plane’s navigation system or cause it to crash!

Stop pronouncing half the letters in every word and most languages begin to sound more sophisticated.

Not even a week in France and I don’t think I can return to plain, unsparkley water ever again.

Step out onto the snowy streets right after a shower and your damp hair will be frozen by the time you reach your destination.

With enough volumising conditioner and subtle combing-over, you can convince most people you’re not bald; at least until you’re 30. I hope.
