| approach a stranger on the street - disrobe, and ask them to scratch that itch. It works every time!
What should I do to prevent my dog from trying to jump the fence in our yard?

How can I prevent my neighbors dog from tunneling under the fence into my yard?

How can I pass the rest of the day quickly?

| Move the clock hands ahead by 4 hours and then pull the fire alarms!
What do I give as a present at this weekends wedding reception?

| The corpse of a late-term abortion, to remind them of their marital duties.
Sure, there are many ways to skin a cat, but what's the best one?

| That's actually a metaphor for recognizing there are many equally valid ways to get a job done. Ironically enough, the best way to tackle almost any job you don't want to do is to distract yourself with a taxidermy project involving a feline. Once you start removing the epidermis, the original task doesn't look so bad after all.
So in answer to your question: Use a dull butter knife.

How does one go about matching the perfect coffee with the perfect ice cream for an after-dinner treat? The multiplicity of flavors confounds me.

| Clearly, trial-and-error is the only way to go. Be sure, however, to try all combinations in one day, to make sure that you don't you don't forget the best ones.
How should I go about packing for school? I go back on Monday. | |

| Wait until Tuesday, it will be a moot point by then.
When is the best time of year to trim boxwood bushes and not kill them?

| In the dead of winter. Alone. In the dark. With whisky.
What's the best way to conquer my fear of heights?

| See, now here is where the novice might post that you should attempt a base jump without a parachute, which would certainly kill your fear of heights, but also you, which is counterproductive.
I respectfully suggest that you find your local superhero with the power of flight, and make a deal with them. You will do whatever it takes to talk them into this deal, up to and including various sexual favors, because you need them for this to work. After they agree, then you attempt that base jump (from the tallest building you can find within a 500 mile radius) without the parachute, but, and this is a serious but, you make sure that the superhero type is flying nearby, and they will swoop down and catch you just scant inches from the pavement. You will realize at this point that there is no reason to be afraid of heights, as long as you have a personal superhero to always catch you if you fall. See, easy?
How do I get rid of a pesky superhero that keeps hanging around whenever I go anywhere?

Or better yet, promise him MORE sexual favors, but when you eventually follow through, do it only half-heartedly. And when he's finished, shrug, and say in a non-commital voice, "Eh, I've had better."
How do I defrost this huge wad of chicken fast enough to make dinner and still get to fencing on time?
Poskat - burn your stuff. Don't move it. It'll all be out of style soon anyway, so you might as well just buy new stuff. Last year's books? You'll never touch 'em again anyway. Just pack your iPod and your fencing bag and don't look back.

How do you convince government auditors that breaking their rules doesn't really count if nobody catches you doing it?

How come when Superman and his women engage in coital relations, the force of his ejaculation doesn't punch a hole through his partners' bodies and the bed beneath them? Think about it, his muscle power is gazillions of times more powerful than that of a mere human, and this is not exactly a muscle he can control. And add to that the indestructability of his sperm, and you've got a killer projectile.
My guess is, he probably killed his first girlfriend this way, is living a life of horror and penance trying to reconcile with himself, and sublimates his sexual tensions with aggressive protective behavior while wearing flamboyant tights.
It's the only explanation.
DIGRESSION OFF, RETURN TO YOUR REGULARLY-SCHEDULED THREAD

Just explain in detail all the things you've done that they haven't caught you doing, and point to the complete lack of worlds coming to an end as a result. They're good-natured people, and will be thrilled to learn that no harm was done. Heck, they'll probably buy you a beer.
How do you eat with chopsticks?

| Only eat items large enough to skewer with the chopstick. As a fencer, this ought to be second nature. Then you can just consider all of life a shish kebob buffet.
How do I get rid of that annoying ringing in my ears?

| Call him, and tell him that you need him urgently.
How can I form my own religion, and have people tithe to me?
