DEALING WITH A CROWD IN AN EMERGENCY
If you are on the scene of an emergency and need help, point to one specific person and say "You, call 911" (or whatever the number is for emergencies where you are) This gets the invidual involved in a personal way where saying "someone call 911" will not.

PHONE NUMBERS AND URLS ON BILLBOARDS
Unless one has some great phone number that spells a simple phrase, don’t even think about using one on a billboard. Likewise, caution should be given to using URLs, and they must be simple, straightforward and memorable.

MOTORCYCLES
If you go to a bar and there are several motorcycles parked out front with yellow and red braided tassels hanging from the handle bars, and you don't know what it means, It's probably best for you to stay out of that bar!
