Some of mine:

- Doors open toward their hinges (not much help in Finland, where all the doors seem to be double-jointed).

- Peanut butter can be used to remove chewing gum from hair (not much help unless you have a child in American schools).

- In getting off a ferry, aim to be either the first one off or the last one off. Getting caught in the middle of the crowd is very tiring.

- You can telnet to any Unix machine by typing telnet:machine name at a Netscape or Explorer prompt, in the place where you would normally type http://etc.
