Number 3 says to be silent so that your opponent will stumble, giving you new ways to attack them. However, number 8 says DON'T attack. which is it? There’s a contradiction in this list.

Want to make something of it? LOL! Nah, not really! Actually, it's a pretty good list! In all truth, I learned this set of tricks, tips and techniques a long time ago when I was in Tech School and oddly enough, they generally tend to work! Don't believe me? Give them a try the next time you and the spouse disagree! LOL! I disagree with the whole list! Want to make something of it? LOL!
