All mechanical watches, including self-winding and automatic watches should be kept wound-up and running as much as possible to prevent the internal lubricants from drying out or congealing.

Dried or congealed lubrication can greatly reduce accuracy and shorten the lifetime of the watch, so it's important that watches be serviced periodically. Most experts recommend mechanical watches be serviced about once every five years or so to keep the watch running as smoothly and as accurately as possible. Servicing includes taking the watch apart to clean, adjust, and re-lubricate as necessary.

Feeling like rock stars, the face painting team showed up for the festival to discover there was 10 face painting stations with eight or more students each spread across 10 acres. How in the heck were four artists to supervise all these kids? Traveling by golf cart it was amazing to see that some stations had no tables or chairs, newly trained face painting artists were sitting on the grassy plains in direct sunlight, and some were without water! Where's the union when you need them? Cultural differences caused frustrations when dealing with difficult situations. Where lecture failed to get points across, leading by example proved most effective. After a week of chaos the instructors broke rank and set up their face painting stations properly with tables, chairs, translators and barrier ropes. Barrier ropes posed a new challenge; the Chinese people are not used to waiting in lines. Small riots broke out frequently. This was a case where the teachers learned a lesson. Changing 3,000-year-old customs doesn't happen overnight. The ropes dropped and people battled for position like ants on breadcrumbs.

'Officials from the National Transportation Safety Administration (NTSA), in a preliminary reporting of findings, have verified the man felt he was acting in the interest of national security. 'It appears the gentlemen in question discovered what he believed to be a small explosive device,' said David McGruder, NTSA spokesman. 'The device was in actuality a mold-covered tuna on rye, with an unidentifiable type of cheese, possibly swiss. To his credit, the man rushed the 'tuna-device' to the restroom, crammed it deeply down the toilet and flushed it into oblivion somewhere over the cornfields of Nebraska. Unfortunately, the man was then unable to extricate his arm from the toilet and, well - you know the rest of this hero's tale turned tragic.'
