Here are five rules of thumb, should all your fingers on one hand turn into thumbs and you decide to rule them.

1. There is no day too dull, no problem too great that cannot be fixed with a couple of plays of ‘rush rush’ by Paula Abdul.

4. ‘When someone asks you if you are a god, you say YES!’

5. The office sucks.

Four of these are true. And one – is wrong! Damn wrong!
