Swiss L'abri Teachings:

1. Chocolate indulgence is not limited to womens monthly aversion to low iron. In fact, it can be used on any and everything, including but not limited to: bread, ice cream, cereal, oatmeal, sandwiches, wine, tea, coffee, and fingers.

2. Questions are NOT a matter of spiritual immaturity.

3. Daily showers are over-rated, unnecessary, and an immature waste of money.

4. Americans are ignorantly arrogant (see blog later for more details).

5. It is NOT ok to lie to people of other ethnicities. Specifically, it is NOT ok to tell a German that you are a professional ping pong player in America and then continue to repeat the lie until their departure. Doing so may cause excessive email and facebook invites from people of German descent asking for autographs. This is not a good idea, and is usually frowned upon.

6. Stereotypes usually aren't true, unless it involves good looking Englishmen.

7. Hitchhiking can be awkward and expensive if you don't realize that the car is an odd shaped cab/taxi.

8. You will still get carded for alcohol if you go into a pub laughing obnoxiously, even though the drinking age is about 14.

9. Running up a hill does not necessarily mean that you will ever run down it...unless you simply turn around.

10. Never cut onions right before a prayer meeting.
