Gotcha!

In software testing, there is a list of tests called "Gotchas".

The items in a Gotcha test are a result of mistakes made in the past - when previous projects would be submitted for final approval, fatal flaws would be discovered at the last moment. This would likely cause a delay, costing thousands of dollars.

"Gotcha!"

I've decided to start my own list of Gotchas, based on life experience instead of software.

~~~~~

Gotchas:

Never trust any girl named after a spice.
The rhythm is gonna getcha.
Bring a cushion.
Never play keep-away under water.
Chew your food.
There is such a thing as too much softener.
Even the cutest monkey is probably a biter.
Never bathe angry.
Always read the directions, even if you decide to ignore them.
If you can afford a book or a meal, buy the book.
Slow down on the curves.

~~~~~

All right, everyone - feel free to chime in with some Gotchas of your own. We'll all benefit from our hard-learned lessons.
