4 Ways to Stay Safe In A Lightning Storm
huffpost

When lightning strikes, it is never a good idea to be close to it! You definitely do not want to get struck by it! The following are some ways you can stay safe in a lightning storm:

1. Don't get near water

...It can kill you! This is an image I found of what water looks like when it is struck by lightning! Scary, right? I know I wouldn't want to be in that.

2. Wear rubber boots if you're out and about

Usually, rubber will bounce lightning off! So you have better luck at not getting killed, although I wouldn't recommend trying it!

3. Have NOTHING electrical plugged in

Not a good feeling to be shocked through an outlet! Try getting shocked by LIGHTNING through an outlet an causing a fire, plus the possibility of destroying whatever is plugged in.

4. Stay away from trees

Don't want to be standing under THAT tree when lightning strikes, do ya?!

...Just remember to use common sense, take shelter, and stay safe!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
