Things to Keep in Mind When Playing Mario Games

 * Always remember to stop playing if you go blind.
 * If your mom yells at you to stop playing, you should stop playing before she takes out a belt and spanks your bottom.

How to Tell If You're in Real Life

 * Try jumping on the nearest turtle. If it pops out of its shell and you see it crawling away, wearing a T-shirt and boxers, then you're in a Mario game.  If you end up crushing it, then you're in real life and you're facing criminal animal cruelty charges.

 * Try standing under a cloud. If a Lakitu starts throwing spiky-balls at you, then you're in a Mario game.  If you simply get struck by lightning, then you're in real life.
 * Try pounding the ground with your butt. If you experience severe pain, then you're in real life.

TIP FOR DUMMIES: If you do experience pain after stomping your butt on the ground, call for help from someone who won't make fun of you.
