I have simplified it to a few bite size ideals. If I wouldn't want it done to me, I won't don't do it to anyone else. I do as I want, but nothing to hurt anyone else and that has worked out very well.
Mine got rubber chickens they like, they squeak when you squeeze them. The dogs think they are alive and then act weird when they make them squeak lol.
Take substances that I have no idea what I am taking (again, once was enough)
Take a literal gut full of magic mushrooms (done that a few times before I had enough)
Go to school on the mushrooms (it wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be)
Try to pass a slow car on a pedal bike on a blind turn (car coming the other way pancaked me)
Full contact karate (we nearly killed each other that day)
Take to the water on a raft with no paddle on a windy day (very nearly ended badly for me)
Give a cat a bath (a joke gone horribly wrong)
Let someone blindfold me on a atv and they tell me to go straight, left, or right (again, misguided experience and the fact he didn't know which way was left or right didn't help)
See how close I can skate to a open section of water on a frozen pond without falling through (I fell through)
Try to stand on a skateboard (board shot out under my feet, I flew back and smashed the back of my head off the concrete floor, knocked out cold junk, head was ringing for weeks afterwards)
Stick my hand down into the washer when its spinning the clothes at full speed (it hurt, a lot)
What Is Your Guiding Principal Or Rule That You Live By?
A little white lie in that case is ok, yes. Like you said though, when it matters, always tell the truth. Its easier to remember if nothing else lol.
