SHOWING OFF YOUR TARANTULAS
When stuffed tarantulas are displayed in a glass case, two out of four people will find them interesting. One person will refuse to look and one will want to inspect them closely. All will recoil at the idea of the glass top being removed.

When entering a crowded movie theater, more empty seats will be found on the aisle farthest from the entrance. If all the aisles are essentially straight ahead of the entrance, select the left-most aisle - most people go to the right-hand aisles.

Driving
STAYING SAFELY IN YOUR LANE
Keep your eyes on or beyond the car in front of you. In light traffic, watch the horizon. Your hands will naturally steer slowly as the preceding car (or the road) begins to turn. If you're concentrating on the road right in front of you, you will steer too abruptly.
David Malki !, Filmmaker, cartoonist, pilot, Los Angeles
