Wash basins often become clogged. If there is no plunger in the house, cut an old tennis ball into halves. Place one half over the drain, and use in the same manner as an ordinary plunger, pressing firmly with fingers several times.
Burned hands can be soothed by holding in flour.
To make fine glassware sparkle, dip the clean, dry pieces in alcohol, and let dry upright, for gleaming perfection, glittering beauty.

Oh, haberdash.
- Prom dresses at 8am.
- Doorbells that don't ring.
- Flying squirrels with diamond necklaces.
- Dustballs
- Worms under rocks.
