TOP 10 TIPS FOR ENJOYING THE ECLIPSE
1. If you are going to scarifice a small animal during the eclipse, first get permission from your boss to make sure it's OK to do it on his desk.
2. Use only a Number 14 welder's glass to look at the eclipse. Looking through the bottom of a welder's beer mug is NOT good enough.
3. Make a pinhole camera out of a cardboard box, but don't get caught taking a few test shots in the staff washroom.
4. Watch the eclipse with an astronomer, but watch out for one that wants to take you back to his place for a few drinks while the Sun's dark.
5. During the midpoint of the eclipse, beat drums, ring bells and scream loudly to drive away the dragon that is eating the Sun. If you're lucky, it'll drive your neighbors away, too.
6. If you need an expert to help you set up your telescope, just ask anyone with a nickname of "Peeper."
7. If you really want to be macho and show off, watch the eclipse without any special precautions. However, first name me as beneficiary in your will.
8. Don't try to impress people by boasting that this eclipse isn't as good as the last one you saw. You probably weren't even born then.
9. Enjoy this eclipse while you can! The government will probably figure out how to tax the next one!
10. Be extra safe during this eclipse - wear a condom!
