10. Spend the car insurance money on everything EXCEPT getting the dent fixed.

11. Invite co-workers and all their friends to their child's first birthday party, which happens to have a professional DJ with only about three kids (including the child) in attendance.

12. Start every sentence with "Me I..." For example,"Me I donno why you are saying that I always say 'Me I'."
