Copied from internet. Worth a thread.

Fish smell but no fish? GET OUT, ELECTRICAL FIRE, CALL 911.

Drunk but no alcohol? Tell the person to smile, if it’s drooping, it’s a stroke.

Stabbed? Don’t move it. Go to the ER because it’s the only thing preventing you from bleeding to death.

Cinnamon smell in your drink? Don’t drink it, it’s a cover up for poison.

No service and need help? You’re still able to call 911.

Ocean retreating? Get to high ground, there’s a tsunami.

Need heat/light? Burn a crayon, it will last up to 14 minutes.

Don’t know how to talk to 911? Say where you are first, what happened, your info, the victim’s info, stay calm and answer questions best you can. The more info, the better.

Square waves? Avoid the water, you’ll drown.

Think you’re being followed? Make 4 right turns. Still behind you? Following you, DON’T GO HOME, GO TO THE POLICE STATION.

Held at gunpoint/knifepoint and told to go somewhere? DON’T GO. You’re more likely to be found where you are than to the location you’re being taken and make a scene too.

White fuzzy spot on your banana? Don’t eat it, spider infestation.

In the woods and nothing to eat? Dandalions (the yellow ones) are fully edible.

Carjacker? Crash the car, then you’re useless.

Under rubble? Grab an object and tap in intervals of 3, wait 10 seconds, tap 3 times again and so on.

Unmoving tornado? It’s coming towards you.

Fall on tracks at a subway? There’s a crawl space under the platform, go there until you get help.

Don’t know the emergency number? Call 112, it’s a worldwide emergency number.

Disturb a bee/wasp nest? They’re not stupid, don’t go in water, they’ll keep stinging you when you go for air.

Purple flag on the beach? Don’t swim, there are dangerous sea creatures in that area.

Bleeding? Elevate it above the heart.

Gas smell? DON’T USE THE ELECTRIC, YOUR HOUSE WILL EXPLODE.

Bitten and poisoned? DON’T SUCK IT. YOU’LL ONLY MAKE IT WORSE.

Someone overdosing? DON’T BE AFRAID TO CALL 911, NOR YOU OR THE PERSON WILL GET IN ANY LEGAL TROUBLE.

Elevator falling? Lay flat on your back and cover your face.

When does drunk driving occur? Late hours of the night (Midnight-4:00 in the morning) Friday-Sunday.

Hair randomly stands up while outside? DUCK AND COVER, YOURE GETTING STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

What info should I carry? List of medicines you take, allergies, name, age, address, phone number, where you live, what language you speak, blood type, any useful information for emergency services.

Fire? Before you leave the room, touch the door with the back of your hand. Cold? Peek out. Hot? Use the window if possible.

What’s the 3-minute rule? You only have 3 minutes to escape a house fire. 3 weeks without food is survivable. 3 days without water. 3 hours without shelter. 3 minutes oxygen deprived

How should I leave a fire? Don’t use the lobby or where you came from, when you walk into a building, there are exit signs, use those instead.

What’s dry drowning? When you’re drowning to the point you feel like you need to throw up water, even though you make it out, go to the ER because your lungs will fill with fluid over time then you drown from the fluid.

What if an animal is vividly colored? It means they’re more likely to be poison.

Money falling from buildings? Don’t pick it up, get the hell out of there, it’s a way terrorists kill more people, is by having them all in one place.

What happens if a service animal is not with its owner? Go with it, it’s getting help.

‘Norwegian Blue. Venomous, squire. A nip from one o’ them’ll kill a water-buffalo.’

I spray the premises with citronella regularly, and we’ve never had a problem with water-buffaloes here.

QED.

Try spraying your carer with citronella.

Works on a lot of things.

Ha ha.

The version of ‘OFF’ tthat has Euc. citriodora in it, works quite well as a mossie repellant.

Some of those parrots are quite naughty. They could take you out with a quip!
