If you're trying to change a flat tire on your car at a strange gas station and the man running the shop comes up to you with a pick-axe and offers to help, you should go ahead and let him help. If you insist on using the shovel to remove the valve stem yourself, you will most likely anger this strange man and he may snatch the shovel from your hand and say, "Fine! Do it yourself then!" This wouldn't be so bad except that this particular man is a very animated speaker, so when he speaks the word "fine" he will most likely shake the shovel and inadvertantly jam about three inches of the blade into the very top of your skull. This won't kill you immediately, but you will have to go get a CT scan. Also, your memory will start fading and it will become difficult to stay awake. Not to mention the fact that you will constantly be messing with that new gaping hole in your head.
In other words, you should never refuse help from a weirdo wielding a pick-axe.
I was going to simply title this post "The Dream I Had Last Night In Which The Blade of a Shovel Punctured My Skull" but I decided to incorporate it into one of the latest "Things You Should Never Do".
