(For part 1, see here.)
So I'm making dinner for the kids tonight, and I realize that I need to hurry and heat up some vegetables. (I try to make sure they get at least one serving of fruits or vegetables at dinner, although I don't hit 100%.) There's a bag of frozen vegetables in the freezer. It's been opened before and it's being held shut by a plastic clip. I pull out the vegetables and think to myself, "You know, smart guy, that clip's been in the freezer and is probably going to be awfully brittle. If you try to open it right away, you'll likely break it. You'd better wait for a minute while it warms up. Well, nah, you're in a hurry, and everything will probably work out fine. It won't break. Just go for it."
Anyone want to guess how the story ends?

Well, you're smarter than I am - I wouldn't have even thought about the clip being brittle!
You grabbed the clip and it shattered into a gazillion pieces, flying at your face like shrapnel. So as you lay screaming and bleeding on the floor, Lindsey walks over with the phone and dials 911 and in perfect German, calmly tells the Swiss version of EMT's, that her daddy is the smartest person in the world!!!!!
