Why only one? Anything worth doing is worth doing to excess!

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Even considering the usual level of grease saturation, a pizza box is made of wood products.

I recommend a soccer ball, firmly inserted, as providing the most pleasing effect for the audience.

And I would only consider a tongue made of the finest Corinthian leather--Nature's Composite. Dye it red if you want, but that #3 red dye'll kill you.

Have you ever seen triple-tonguing done on a tuba?

There might be more of a market for this kind of thing that we thought.
