WHEN PULLED OVER BY POLICE
Turn off your car and turn on a dome light. Put both hands on the wheel. This can possibly make the officer feel more comfortable because he can see your hands and inside the car.

SERVING DRINKS TO KIDS
A waitress friend told me this one: If a kid asks for root beer and you don't have any, mix some Coke with some Ginger Ale. If a kid asks for Ginger Ale and you don't have any, mix some Coke with some Sprite. If a kid asks for Sprite and you don't have any, mix some sugar with some Seltzer Water. If a kid asks for Seltzer Water, he's just messin' with you.
