Mayonnaise isn't just for ham samaches anymore. It has many other uses.
1) It makes a good hair conditioner.
2) It will help remove water rings on wood and helps to restore the woods luster.
3) You can put a thin coating on the leaves of Ivy plants and it will make them shiny and healthy. The cellulose in the mayo also helps to nourish the leav ...[text shortened]... eat it myself so I find other ways to empty that jar or packet and still get something from it.

The post that was quoted here has been removedWhen you have open eggs and you have both hard boiled eggs and uncooked eggs together and you want to know which is which, just spin the eggs like a top. The ones that spin are hard boiled. The uncooked eggs have a viscous liquid inside that inhibits spinning so they will just fall over if you try to spin them.
I just used that effect after Easter when we had a bunch of both floating around and I didn't know which was which.
Originally posted by sonhouseAlternatively break the egg over the head of somebody that you don't like very much; if it makes a horrible mess then it was one of the uncooked ones. You may then apologize and say you thought it was one of the cooked ones. If they ask why you just broke an egg (uncooked or otherwise) over their head, think of something quickly.

Originally posted by sonhouseI used to work with a guy that could have used that hint. His wife would fix him boiled eggs for lunch. Every day he would crack the egg on his forehead then peal the egg, I guess he thought it made him look tough or something. Anyway, his wife got angry with him about something I guess and the next day he had egg on his face. Funny part was he never did it again. From then on everyone called him egg head. You would have had to of been there I guess.

So one day I got the idea of taking an electrolytic capacitor and charging it up to 200 volts or so and carefully wrapped the wires around the body not touching but spiraled around the plastic case.
So I set it down on a workbench and sure enough Sarge comes ambling around and got to the cap and picked it up, hilarity ensued while he kept trying to drop it.
He stopped making silly rounds after that🙂
