Several of the OP tips are good advice. #6 just seems creepy.

I'm guessing the intention of #6 was that by knowing their family, you'd fully realize the gravity of initiating an affair with them.

But seeing as how you presumably already know your SO's family and that apparently isn't enough of a deterrent, I'm skeptical of its efficacy.

I have a mental exercise I do sometimes if the thought crosses my mind where I picture myself in a movie about an embarrassing affair. I'm always played by an aging Kevin Kline in this movie.

The good thing about not being famous is never needing to write your autobiography.

I actually did have an orange on my desk that had gone brown and dry. We left it as an experiment because our office had no natural light or air. It went very crispy, and rattled a little when you shook it.

57. Kill your co-workers.
