Time Savers (Pt. 1)

I'm introducing a segment here called "Time Savers", where I will, though my own life experience, find and pass on to you opportunities to save valuable time in your busy life.

Let's get started.

Time Saver #1:

Imagine that you - like I was - are watching something on the Science Channel about breathalyzers. They've just finished showing you how the thing works, and explaining some of the scientific principles behind it. They're about to go to commercial, and they tell you that, coming up, they're going to test several urban myths on how to beat the breathalyzer and see if they really work!

Turn off the TV. Walk away. Do something else with your time.

Do you honestly think they're going to show you, on the Science Channel, actual successful ways to beat a breathalyzer? Seriously? On a show that gets shown by science teachers to their young students, do you really expect to hear the words, "Wow! Who'd have thought?! We had our drunken test subject eat an entire raw onion, and sure enough, he read as legally sober! Crikey!" (I added the "crikey" because it was an Australian program I was watching)?

No!

So you already know the outcome. Accept that you can't beat the breathalyzer, or at least that the Science Channel isn't going to teach you how (this is what the internet is for), leave the program and go catch up on your scrapbooking.

Time saved.

Stay tuned for more exciting Time Savers, coming soon!
