The Pollyanna in me always comes out when I read threads like this one. I always try to approach people with a smile and, in reverse, return the compliment. Usually a smile is a positive place to start a discussion.

If you remark to a woman, "Never annoy a woman in the kitchen. There are just too many hot, heavy or sharp weapons at hand", and she answers, "So very true", then never, ever, ever, go into a kitchen with her. She clearly knows from experience how dangerous she is! :D

You might casually let it slip in conversation that you like to tie a woman down...

One step at a time, dear. I'm trying to find my old copy of A Manual of Seamanship. I've got to revise my knot tying.

The last 4 posts are ones you learn from harsh experience :shock:
One that I learnt from harsh experience was to never trust an indicator (turn signal) on a vehicle, just because it's flashing don't mean they are turning. DOH :lol:
