My local radio station played a game this morning and it was hilarious! I wanted to see how creative you all were! Basically, the caller came up with a scenario they needed an answer to and the DJ's gave them funny/bogus advice. So, Give advice to the person above you, then state your problem for the next person.

Here's my problem:

There is a lady in my office whose jaw bobbles constantly. We call her bobble jaw. Anyway, she sits right in front of my desk and I get so distracted by the unnatural sight of her jaw bobbing that I can't focus on my work. Then I end up here on MFP. Next thing I know....my day is shot. What can I do to stay focused?

    Sneak up behind her with duct tape and quietly attach a 'chin strap' of tape from ear to ear. Problem solved.

    My problem: I am attending my brothers wedding next weekend and the invitation gives no indication as to what is appropriate attire. It is in the late afternoon and half indoor half outdoor.
    What do I wear?

    Nothing, though you may want to bring a light coat in case it gets cold inside. Other than that, you can't go wrong in your birthday suit!

    I don't have another problem at the moment...but maybe someone else has better advice for you than I do lol

    bring your entire closet in the trunk of your car. color coordinated. run in, see what everyone's wearing and go from there!

    my boyfriend spends ridiculous amounts of money on toys for himself (trucks, quads, etc.) but won't put anything away to save. how do i influence him to save without sounding like an annoying girlfriend?

    Start making him pay for 'it'. Put the money in savings.

    I will be flying across country for the wedding. How should I pass the time for 6 hours on the plane?

    bring a shrapie and draw on the faces of the passangers that fall asleep. Make sure you stretch out and take up as much space as possible so you are comfortable!

    My issue:
    There is a coke sitting on my desk that someone brought for me. I can hear it saying "drink me" but if I do....I won't be able to stop. What would you do?

    Buy yourself a "toy" and tell him you will be using it instead of him until he has reached a savings goal.
